New service
I ordered new service a month ago. An account number was issued, but no equipment or communication has happened. Customer service tells me it is pending. This seems like an extremely long time to wait without anyone touching base. The app won't give me access to my account. What can I do?

It isn't realistic to expect customers to recognize that the cryptic string "comca.st/30x1qW2" is actually a link. Why not post a clickable link? And why use shortened non-links when you could just as easily post the much more recognizable (and clickable!) https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/view-account-info-my-account-app?

I was thinking the same thing, some empoyees do provide clickable link to that. And in some post two employees post within hours saying the same thing that the other one said to contact them. The help is good but can be confusing to some.

Sometimes links can post that way, but I do know where you are coming from. I like when communication is concise and easy to follow also. We are here every day working to do all we can for our valued customers. Feel free to send a private message or send follow up questions anytime.

Hi, BruceW. It was meant to be a clickable link. We will pass your feedback along to our leadership team about the need for them to be used here. They system we use currently automatically converts them like that.

If a link is preceded by "https://", the forum editor will automatically make it clickable.
You haven't addressed the use of URL shorteners. What is the benefit of using them here? All they do is turn a recognizable destination into complete gibberish. "comca.st/30x1qW2"? Really? No one can have any idea where such a link leads except by following it. And since it isn't clickable, many posters will not even realize that these odd-looking strings even are links. What's the point of posting non-clickable non-recognizable links here???

Its is usually clickable with other Comcast employees. It is just the one employee that it is not. Not sure why.

It's actually several of the new OE's that are posting the shortened "un"link, and I have tried mentioning it to them in different ways to no avail.
@ComcastMorgan while you're at it, try getting them to tell customers how to send a PM, rather than just asking them to send the information. And that Experts are here to help, not to be ignored. Thanks. 😉
