How to get a longer coax cable?

Is there anyway to get a longer coax cable for my Comcast Internet service? The place I want to put my modem is too far from the nearest outlet. The coax cable that came with the self-install kit is too short. I went to xfinity store and they don't carry longer cables. They told me to contact customer service which I did. The customer agent promised to call me back within 48 hours to help me get a longer cable but I didn't receive a call back after a week. I talked to another agent today and this time I was told you guys won't be able to get me a longer cable. I was hoping comcast would take the extra step to get customers connected. I didn't know getting a coax cable is that hard for comcast, the nation's largest cable provider. Any help would be appreciated.

You can buy longer coaxial cables at stores like Best Buy. Make sure you get RG6u coaxial cables.

Hello @user_6c7060! Thank you for reaching out on our community forum. I sincerely regret there's not more we can do to help. A third party would be the best to get the length of cable you need.
