Damaged Outside Cable

The RG11 cable to our house was never buried, it has now been damaged and we do not have Internet. How do we request a technician to come fix this issue?

Hello @user_nqr4q6, thank you for taking the time to leave a post. Sorry to hear that the drop line outside has been damaged and that you’re currently without service. I completely understand how frustrating and disruptive this can be, especially when you rely on internet service for your everyday needs. We'd be happy to get a technician scheduled for you.

Also, Drop buries typically take up to 14 business days, as long as the area isn’t under a winter hold, which usually runs from November through April. Once the winter hold is lifted, the drop team resumes work and completes bury requests in the order they were received. 
If you could send our team a direct message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account, we'd be more than happy to look into this for you.

To send a Direct Message, please click on the “Direct Message” icon in the top-right corner of the screen, click the "New message" icon, then type or select "Xfinity Support". Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window and press Enter to send your message and initiate a live session.

I HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME ISSUE SINCE 2022 OF THE CORD NEEDING BURIED AND YET HAVE HAD NO answers. I have 2 kids the the big cable cord is right next to a pond. Im extremely upset as this is such a tripping hazard. I can never get a live representative as well only can report with no solution.
