No Human Answers the Phone Ever

I never can get a human to answer the phone even now as after a storm my cable is laying almost on the ground in my backyard. So it is a safety issue. All the options are on that chat bot are laying in street and no option for hanging one foot from the ground in my backyard.

If you call their customer service number you stay on hold forever then it just hangs up. This is especially terrible for me as I am a person with a disability. I have reported this many times the best I can with the chat bot and it keeps closing the ticket with no resolution. 

Shame on Xfinity. There is no way to get a human on the phone ever for a safety issue with my entire cable line having fallen 20 feet and hanging there. 

It sits there now vulnerable to animals, humans and the weather and my massive trees in my backyard.

In absolute disgust that even a safety issue cannot merit me a human agent.

Useless response. I already did that and nobody comes out to fix the hanging line in my backyard. You are a bot repeating useless directions. 

This is how bad customer service is for Xfinity.

@XfinityBillie is not a bot, I can assure you!  Everyone that responds here on the Forums are real people.  And all of the employees here are Corporate Employees, not CSRs.

Okay, so you want to play games now and email me to accept your answer? No. Why? Nothing is fixed. Your directions are utterly worthless. I have repeatedly reported this dangerous line down in my backyard and no human will answer the phone. Nobody will help me. So if someone gets hurt you are at fault and this is public to prove it. This is a bot as all you do is repeat the same directions and nobody ever contacts me.

It asks if you have a line on the street, not your backyard so it's not an option. 

Please can corporate get involved if you are reading this as no employee here is doing their job and meanwhile the line is almost on the ground. In absolute disgust and calling to try to get a new Internet provider at this point. Absolute negligence that when I call your "customer service" line, I CAN NEVER GET A HUMAN FOR DANGEROUS SITUATION. I am calling the federal government at this point for negligence.

I need an actual phone number so I can speak to a human for this dangerous situation. What is the number for corporate where a human and NOT A BOT OR AUTOMATED response will answer? If you refuse, I will report this to the feds. I'm done.
