home phone port in request not sent correctly to previous supplier

I asked for my old home phone number to be transferred from my old supplier to Xfinity two months ago and it still has not happened. I have been on the phone with the port in department every day for weeks, and every day they say that it will happen today, or in two days. When I call my old supplier (Metronet) they confirm that they have never received any request from Xfinity.
Meanwhile, I have to pay my old supplier for phone and internet because if I cancel that contract I will lose my phone number.

I have tried reaching out through the chat function, to ask how to directly contact the corporate escalation team. But they will not give me a straight answer. How can I get this resolved and get my number transferred?
