Pedestal Replacement (12/6/24)

Hello!

My pedestal caught fire two weeks ago due to the impact from a tree limb falling on the power line going to my service mast on November 20. I called Xfinity to submit a damage complaint the following day, I was later told a week later that the ticket could not be approved only for my nearest Xfinity store to tell me that a new one had been created without notifying me.

I have called Xfinity daily about when a technician/crew is supposed to come out and no one has yet to show, pushing my ticket to the next day. I was finally waitlisted for an appointment yesterday, the 5th, but no technician/crew ever came out. I'm now being told that my Sunday appointment will likely be rescheduled due to said tech/crew not coming out.

Can I inquire about how long it usually takes for a technician/crew to come out and replace a pedestal? I'm going on two weeks without access to my internet because of my pedestal blowing a fuse, which my router still works perfectly, but I can't use it.

Thank you,

<EDIT: Removed Personal Information>

I know how important it is to have internet especially since I use mine for work and my household does online schooling! We want to get you back up and running as soon as possible.

The concern is not "accessibility / disability" help related............................. Topic moved here to the proper help section, and for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.
