I just need our internet resumed.

We turned off the internet at a summer cottage and summer has returned. We just want to resume service. Why is this so hard? This error message has been here for weeks. Called and finally got a hold of someone who cared. They had to send me to another department. That person picked up the phone, said something like "use the chat" and then hung up.  Three hours trying to fix this this morning. You can't be an "only internet interaction" company if your IT is broke.

Oh, and fire whoever made the worst chatbot known to humankind call XfinityAssistant. In fact, fire anyone who has ever uttered that word without irony and giggling.

user_rsh0vu We appreciate you reaching out to our Xfinity Forums for assistance and feedback. This is not the ideal experience we want our customers to have with our products and services. I'll be sure to pass along the feedback. I'm glad to hear you were able to get fixed this morning. Are there any other concerns I can assist you with today?

Who said I got it fixed? A really great guy got me almost the whole way there then had to pass me to someone who promptly hung up on me.  We still don't have it fixed.

I mean, it's obviously an API response that the front end doesn't know what to do with and it erroring out. But, there's no way around it and no obvious workaround.

user_rsh0vu Apologies for misunderstanding. If your NOW Internet or Xfinity service is showing as paused, it usually means your Autopay failed, your account has an unpaid balance, or a specific device was manually blocked in your app. Have you checked that your payment settings for your account are correct?

@XfinityBrianH   In this case, it doesn't. We purposely paused it in the fall. Now it is the spring and we want to resume it. The payment method hasn't been altered and the card is still good.
