Moving underground line

Hello, we have an orange coax cable that will be broken once we start landscaping. It is very close to the top of the ground. I called and the lady basically made it seem like you guys wouldn’t come out to place a new line unless it was broken, and even then it would only be repaired or Or replaced but not relocated. This doesn’t make sense to me. It seems like being proactive is not helpful but I also can’t lose my Internet connection because I work from home. The line just needs to be replaced and buried about 10 inches farther from where it is now I have a ticket open As a trouble call. What input can you give?

user_hfbxgl, Good morning. If you have a trouble call set, we would need to let the tech put in an order to relocate the line if needed. They would be the ones to determine if it needed to be moved. Good on you to be proactive. When is your trouble call set for?

Not sure they never told me just gave me a ticket number. The rep told me in her ten years she’s never had someone call to have them come relocate a line which seems odd??

Hmm, that is certainly strange @user_hfbxgl! If you received a ticket number, they are typically worked within 30 days. The tickets are noted with the details, and then when the technician visits the location, they can ensure the line is buried further. Please let us know if you have any other questions/concerns, we are happy to help!

Hello, no one has come to my house. I used the xfinity assistant to get an update and it says the ticket is closed. I wasn’t informed by anyone regarding any updates. It says my request could not be accommodated? Are you able to look into this? Do I have to go ahead and break the line in order to get someone out here?
