New address not recognized

I am moving to a new house and the address Is not recognized in your database. I was under the impression I could not get xfinity internet at the new address, but when my brother (who is a tech for xfinity) helped me move in he said it would definitely be available for me, I currently have xfinity internet and would love to keep my service at the new address.

Hello, @Crasher2003. Thanks for reaching out to our team with your serviceability questions. If your address isn't recognized in our system, we can request that it be added if your home is in a Comcast service area. I'll be happy to review your address and help with your serviceability request. I know it can be frustrating to try and figure this stuff out alone, so we're happy to help! Please send me a message with your first and last name, by clicking on "ComcastLizzy" and then selecting "Message". Looking forward to working with you soon!

PM'd three diff forum employees at their requests, submitted all the paperwork. Was supposed to be called back twice about adding the address and that was on Friday nothing yet. Got notice today that we have to start working from home or getting put on unpaid leave. So I've got that to look forward to. Literally just need the address added to the system, they have my property deed and everything. I have everything else connected/hooked up/lines ran and even get welcome to xfinity when I plug the ethernet into my pc. Just need my address added so I can get service.

@Crasher2003 I’m in the exact same predicament. When I speak to a representative on the phone however they say that there is a ticket in and we usually will get a response in 3 days however it’s been about a month now. My neighbor about 2 months. I just need internet so I can work from home and pay for my new beautiful home. Also there is an Xfinity box of cables right in front of my home. So it should be serviceable.

@ComcastJeniece I have no chat icon on the top right and the message option is gone from your profile.

You will need to use the Xfinity handle in order to access the chat option and not through selecting an agent's name. Does this help to clarify?

@ComcastJeniece not exactly. Are you saying use the chat option like normal support? It's all changed in the forums in the past three days and as tech savvy as I am I'm stuck on this one.

No worries, we did recently make changes to our website and forums platform. You would just use the chat option at the top within the forums platform on the top right side of our page and then using our singular Xfinity Support handle to get started. You might need to clear your cache and cookies in your browser settings in order to access the chat feature. Let me know if this helps!

Hello Comcast, I am trying to arrange for a contract for construction to provide Xfinity service at a new construction address. Somehow my previous PM thread with your team has gone away. Re-posting here in the hopes of restarting a thread on the matter. Thank you.

Hi @ComcastRayana I can't seem to send a PM. There is no envelope icon or chat icon anymore. Something has changed in my Community Forum account's settings. Can you please enable Private Messages for my account?  Thanks.

@ComcastJonathan Hi Jonathan, I am in the same predicament as others in this thread and have reached out to support through live chat a few days ago (I do have a Smart request number), however I came across this forum post and see you are experienced in handling this type of issue. I am hoping you might be able to help me out in regards to looking into if it is possible to extend service to my new address. I have more information to share regarding everything and would really appreciate it if I could get permission to contact you through PM. Thanks in advance for your help.

@ComcastStephani Great, thanks for the quick response. We've been with Comcast for over 10 years now, so if it's possible to stay with you guys for service, we'd love to do so. And just to clarify, for the Peer to Peer chat, am I contacting 'Xfinity Support', or can I contact 'ComcastJonathan' directly?

@GAR64 - You're welcome! We appreciate your business over the past ten years and we would love if you could take our services with you to your new home as well. It would need to go to our Xfinity Support handle as it routes to a main inbox, even if sent to a specific agent, but I assure you, we're a team of experts and we all can provide top-notch care to ensure this is addressed for you.

@ComcastStephani Oh ok, got it! I didn't see your name pop up in the search, so that was why I referenced ComcastJonathan. I will go ahead and contact Xfinity Support through the Peer to Peer chat now. Fingers crossed something can be worked out. Thanks again!

Yes, absolutely. =] We can submit the address for a survey. If it falls within our footprint, and is close enough to an Xfinity node, we can have it added into the system and set-up for services.

 

To send a peer-to-peer chat:

  • Ensure you are first signed in, then you will see an icon at the top right of your page. Click that or follow this link: https://comca.st/3wbIIUC
  • From there, click the 'New Message' icon. In the 'To' field, type 'Xfinity Support'.
  • Type your message in the text area that appears at the bottom of the window and hit enter to send. An official employee, such as myself or whoever is first available, will respond.

We ask that you please include your name, the address in question, as well as best contact information including email and phone number. Any identifiable information (landmarks, main roads, etc.) about the property helps as well, especially if it's a duplex or anything.

I am having this same issue.  I am new construction (but all the houses around me have had xfinity for 15+ years).

I opened a ticket and have a utility bill and letter from utility company but I can't seem to get to right person to get my address setup so that I can get service.

@Xfinity Support Hey I just moved into a new construction complex. My address is pulling up unserviceable although my building is completed and already pre-wired with comcast equipment (router already setup in my closet). My property manager mentioned there seems to be confusion on Comcast's side - there's a building on-site that's not completed but mine is. 

I've been trying to get this setup for about a week now with no luck. Comcast customer service setup a Home Smart ticket to get a serviceability update. I received an update on Friday saying the project is in the construction process and will take 60-120 days to complete. My building is done, the next building over is in that state. Just need some assistance on this, customer service is only offering to update my Home Smart ticket and not investigate the issue.
