New internet connection

I put in a request for an address change at a location that previously had internet. When I connect my modem, my devices eventually recognize the network, but it shows that there’s no internet. This feels like something that could be solved over the phone, but it’s impossible to get a real life person from Xfinity when you call customer support. Genius from a cost cutting standpoint point but a recipe for frustration from customers. The only option is to schedule an appointment via a robot, and the first time available is Wednesday (it’s Sunday) and I work from home and can’t afford to miss work for two+ days just because Xfinity has a monopoly and is able to offer a service without any competition that would require the company to at least pick up the [Edited: Language] phone.

user_d6avtm Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums. I understand that you aren't able to access the internet after putting in an address change. I work from home as well, so I completely understand how important it is to get services up and working as quickly as possible. I would love to review the account with you and see what our best options are. Please send us a DM to Xfinity Support with your full name and address to get started.
