How to cancel service?

I have been trying to get a low-hanging line raised or replaced ever since Hurricane Helene. It is a hazard. It could potentially flip a backhoe or forklift. After about 7 promises to fix it, including today between 8:00 and 12:00, we are done trying. The signal has been poor ever since the line came down. Xfinity is a lost cause. We are done supporting this nonsense. Just tell me how to close my account. Regards,

Thank you for the quick response. I have spent the equivalent of several days chatting with the bots, trying to get to a live person, and chatting with numerous live people. The bots are worthless. The live people, while personable, and ostensibly helpful, are actually not worth any more than the bots. They have sent out the same poor van driver four times. He tells me every time that there's nothing he can do, that I need a bucket truck. It's not my job to know what equipment is needed. I can only describe the problem. It is up to the live agent to know who to send and what equipment will be needed. 

Thank you for the link.

@HamRHead2.0, thank you for explaining this, and we hear you. You’re absolutely right and it shouldn’t be your responsibility to know what equipment is required, and we understand how frustrating it is when the wrong resources are sent repeatedly.

We want to clarify that our Xfinity Support team here on our forum consists of real people, not bots, and we’re willing to take another look and ensure the issue is properly reviewed and documented.

If you’re open to it, the next best step would be to message us privately so one of our human agents can review the account and service records directly.
