Help Please

I've been trying to get help since April 1st. My last chat attempt, I sat there for 2 and a half hours, and no one ever came in.
So I'm hoping someone here can assist me with a few different things. The most urgent, is my bill.

Billing: 1. I'm currently being charged $29.85 for three boxes I returned on March 19th at the UPS store, I have a receipt. I also received an email order confirmation on March 24th, but I never ordered anything, and those same 3 boxes are on there in addition to the three you sent. I returned the old boxes after you guys sent the new X1, and 2 little boxes to us automatically.

2. I also need to lower my overall bill. It's currently - $385.00!

Services: 1. Want to cancel home security.

2. Would also like to find out about the cost of just going with unlimited internet, and home phone.

Orange Cable: It's been there for three years. They ran it in Jan. 2018, and every time we were told someone would be out to bury it, they never came. Last time we were told was March 2020, just before the covid shut down. I then had to care for my husband (cancer), so I was unable to stay on top of it, and trying to schedule around the many doctor appointments was impossible. The box is in my backyard, and they've been out multiple times for the neighbors, and even buried two of their orange cables.

Not happy.

On Monday 5/3/2021 6:33 PM my time, I received an email that they would be out to mark utilities in the next three working days.

It's now Thursday 5/6/2021 10:00 PM my time, and no one has been here. 

I've left my gate unlocked to accommodate this, it has a different type latch/lock, and doesn't stay closed (swings all the way open), so I also had to make a way to keep it somewhat closed, while also making sure they have a way in. I don't like not having my yard secured, and it's distracting wondering when they might come. And me not having to be here for them is not the point.

How hard is it, to do what they say they're going to do, and stick to it for once? 

And then there's also the no notice.......

Last Saturday 5/1/2021, a tech called at 7:30 AM. I missed the call because I was asleep. I called him back later to apologize for not having the gate unlocked. I guess he had to take pictures of the orange cable, which he did what he needed to do. But still, I was not told anyone would be out, or calling, much less at that hour on a Saturday. 

Comcast needs to work on being more considerate.

Thank you for reaching back out to us over our Community Forums! I do apologize for any miscommunication, and missed timeframes. With the cable drop bury process we set many wheels in motion with local teams, partners, contractors, etc. This process can take up to 14 days to be finalized, and scheduled for the actual burying of the cable. We try to do our best with scheduling, and notification so you are aware of the process, and status. Thank you so much for all of your patience during this process, please reach out to us directly if you have additional questions, or concerns.

Hi @ComcastMartinR ,

I understand there's a few steps along the way, and I'm doing my best to try and stay patient. It's just really frustrating, that this same thing has happened repeatedly for 3 years of trying to get the cable buried. 

Thank you for responding.

P.S. I will return to chat soon, we still need to get my bill lowered. 

Hi @ComcastThomasF ,

No, they haven't been here to mark yet. We did have rain and snow yesterday (Mon. 5-10-21), and rain again today (Tues. 5-11-21), so that probably affected things for the start of this week.

Thank you for checking in on it though.

Hello, I hope your weekend has been nice and peaceful so far. Just the way nature intended lol. I wanted to touch base with you regarding that pending order to bury your line. We're past the average time to schedule, so I can work on getting that taken care of for you now. In order to do so, can you please provide your best contact number and email in a direct message to Xfinity Support?
