Damaged in-ground box near road.

A tree removal company damaged the small (about 8-10” diameter) in-ground “container” where the fiber from the main access box is connected to the line to my house. The “cap” no longer seats properly to keep rain out, and the cylinder in the ground has a broken edge. They asked me to contact Xfinity about repairing/replacing it. Will you come do that? Is there a charge? Is it their responsibility to contract the repair/replacement?

There is no “Sign in” link to click that I can find. I logged on to the Xfinity App,  but I see no “Direct Messaging Chat” icon.

It's not on the Xfinity App, user_xy56gl. It would be here on the forums page. The DM icon should be available on the upper right-hand side of the forums page. Next to the bell and Xfinity Icon.

Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list that appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Ok, I figured it out.

The Forums site doesn’t work on Safari. That square icon next to the U just started another message. 

I switched to Chrome and the Forum site had the links you referenced.

I’v submitted the request. 

Thanks.
