New build construction no internet

Hello,

I recently closed on a new build condo and xfinity had guys come out this past week to successfully connect the cable to our building and wire everything up.
The cable installation guys told me that this work had been completed and that the only thing left was for xfinity to update their system to allow all our residents to be able to order/install internet into each of our units. This has not been done and it’s been over 48 hours since the building installation was complete. 

I need this expedited pronto if possible because I work from home full time and my ATT hotspot data plan is about to run out. 

I did open a ticket with Xfinity in regards to adding my unit to the availability list however they keep telling me it won’t get done until October 5th which based on the information I disclosed above is unacceptable. Wondering if I could get direction on who to talk to speed up this process. Thanks!

Thank you Hunter. I am checking on the ticket now. Just as a friendly FYI, this is not a traditional chat platform. It also takes a little time to find and familiarize ourselves with specific accounts, so that we can provide the best and most accurate assistance. So there may be delays between responses. The beauty of this platform though, is that once you make it here, you won't be disconnected.

Thank you for your patience. I am showing that the current cable construction project is not complete on our end which is why you were provided the date of 10/5/22. This is directly from the planning and design engineer and we are unable to expedite a sooner date. I would be happy to follow up at that time to check on the address being added to the biller. I totally get how this is not the best answer or the most desirable and I am really sorry.

I appreciate your feedback but this is still unacceptable. Could you provide me contact information on the engineering end that I can reach out to?

In order to access our Wi-Fi hotspots, you'd need a Xfinity internet account at least pending. Since the address is not in our systems yet, we wouldn't be able to get you access to those hotspots. However, once we sign you up for our services, you can create the needed login information. I know new construction can take some time and it's not ideal. We do appreciate your patience and understanding!
