Destroyed My Brand New Yard

I don't know what else to do...customer service has been a NIGHTMARE getting my service installed in a new construction home. I was lied to by every single support member and hung up on several times. I can't believe this is how they treat a brand NEW customer. 

Finally got the service installed and the technician put in a request to have the line buried...got updates texted to me and it was supposedly scheduled for the middle of August, which was fine.

I come home from work two days ago to find my brand new grass and brand new backyard in shambles!! I'm horrified!!

I contacted customer support and the representative was very apologetic and swore up and down that I would receive a phone call yesterday and that this matter would be remedied immediately. I told her that I had been lied to several times in the past month so I wasn't confident I would receive the phone call, but she again promised it would happen. She gave me her representative ID and an issue number as a sign of good faith.

Guess what?!? No phone call yesterday!! 

I don't know what to do...I'm tired of having to re-explain myself 10 times per phone call and I'm tired of nobody actually being able to help me and I'm beyond tired of being LIED to every single time I talk to them.

Nothing short of a professional landscaper coming to redo my yard will suffice. It has now become a safety hazard for my dog. 

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Just wanted to say, it looks like you have a small back yard, but that could be the perspective of the photo.  Anyway, love the grass!  And I see so much potential for having a really nice yard [no, I'm not a retired landscaper!].  I know that Comcast will make that line right for you.  Congrats on the new home!

I really hope this got resolved for you because I literally just had the same problem. I just moved into a new home and had the backyard sodded last week as well as concrete slabs and rocks on the side. It cost a pretty penny and today the technician comes and completely tears up an entire section of the yard as well as left trash from whatever devices he used and just threw all these plastic bags and wrappers all over my yard. The pallets of grass could have easily been removed and replaced intact but instead this guys digs it up and turns it over. I am beyond livid!

Oh goodness, that sounds frustrating! We would love to get that mess taken care of for you, @user_4faa9f-- we're sorry it happened in the first place! Please send us a direct message, using the following instructions so we can get to work on turning this situation around ASAP: 

(Full credit to @BruceW for this excellent explanation!) 

"Search for Xfinity Support" won't work. To send a "Direct Messaging" message to Xfinity Support:

 • Click "Sign In" if necessary

 • Click the "Direct Messaging" icon or https://comca.st/3mEqZ5W

 • Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

 • The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

 •  - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

 •  - An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

 • Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

 • Press Enter to send it

See https://comca.st/3mDwDFi for an example.

I no longer work for Comcast.
