No box install after drop line? Loose wire exposed.

Xfinity tech came out 3 years ago and had a drop line added to the other side of our house since apparently they don’t typically have it on the side it’s currently run on. 

Nobody ever came back to install a box in those 3 years to run the wire to the internet spot on the house or install a box. It’s just a loose wire. We still have internet through the original existing wire.

Had a tech come out yesterday (3 year later) and he says we don’t have an orange wire but a black wire so it needs to get re-dropped and after that they can add a box to the loose wire. He orders the re-drop for the orange wire and then 1 day later xfinity emails that it is complete with no work done. They didn’t do anything and were still stuck with a lose wire and no box in the side of the house. 

No idea what do do. I called last month and xfinity had no idea about why we have a problem since we still have functioning internet. I guess the loose wire doesn’t matter?


Who from xfinity do we call? What do we request?
