Peacock Subcription error

I recently got a plan with Peacock included and every time I hit Activate it says "Something unexpected happened". Please close this pop up and try again. If the problem persists, try again later." I keep chatting with support and they keep saying it show it working on their end and everytime I try to log into Xfinity, it tells me to upgrade to watch, so it is not activating. I've chatted with multiple people and they keep saying they are looking into it but nothing has worked and I'm extremely frustrated as we canceled our paid Peacock since this was included, and haven't been able to use Peacock since upgrading our plan. No one seems to care to help and keeps telling me to try again - we've verified the email is correct.

Hey @user_co2y01 We appreciate you reaching out and sharing your concern! Sounds like you have tried the right steps and are still running into issues. Since the email is correct, did you recently upgrade to a NextGen Speed?

•  Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon 
•  Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list which appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

I get the same error...I have spent hours with Xfinity chat, regular tech support and advanced tech support.   They don't have a ghost of a clue.

Last night, Advanced Xfinity Tech Support suddenly said "yes!  I found the error.  There is an outage.  You will be contacted as soon as the service is back up".  

I told the agent this has been going on for over a week and is a common problem that is reported with other customers on the internet.  To just get rid of me, she was firm that the problem was indeed an "outage".   LOL   

This is total bait and switch from Xfinity.
