Moving to my parents - want to transfer service there, Xfinity is already there

I am moving to my parents house and I want to take my internet from here to there. My parents already have Xfinity at their home (it's under my wife's name - she runs the school in the basement there that has Xfinity). But Xfinity is giving me a hard time to move the service - I have to pay $100 for an installer to come. Again the service is already there, I just want to move mine to there and replace the existing.

Hello, @Shahryar we will take the right actions to help. Do you have cable outlets in the area you need a second account? There's always a chance those need to be activated. Did you already set up a transfer of service?

@XfinityJosephA​ So honestly, this whole thing was turning into a big headache. First, the automated system was not letting me transfer the service cleanly without paying an installer fee. However, I went to Twitter Xfinity support and there they were able to go set me up with the transfer for no cost. But the confusion for the support team was that I wanted to have my transferred plan take over the existing Xfinity plan that was at my parents. My plan was a better plan at $100-something and 2100 MBps. The plan at my parents was just the 400Mbps plan $50/month. But I couldn't get support to carry out this last step. 

So today I just canceled the plan I was trying to transfer over, after I believe 10 plus years of service. I'm also bummed to lose my diamond status 😔

What I'll do next is talk to Xfinity support from my wife's account and see if I can bump that up to a faster plan, hopefully for at least somewhat around what I was paying. I'm also bummed to lose my diamond status 

Tomorrow I will send back my X1 rental at the UPS store. The 400Mbps plan already at my parents has this equipment: Netgear CM1000V2 and Deco x55 mesh router system.

We are sorry about the frustrating experience @Shahryar. This is never how we want our customers to feel. Would you like us to review your wife's account to make sure you all are getting the best deal possible?
