Got charged $100 when I moved the service even though I used the self installation option, spent 4+ hours on phone with clueless agents!!!!

I moved my services and they said self installation option will be free. I spent many hours on phone and agents kept transferring us, must have gone through atleast 10 agents before someone figured out that the problem was with their device. We went to the store and got the device replaced and even then their service was not working after which they sent the technician home and it turned out to be a xfinity problem but I still got charged $100! It took 4 days for the service to be activated. It is so annoying, if I knew I would have gotten charged, I would never have selected the self installation option. Terrible service!
