Process for new construction

I have been trying to get my new house connected for over two months.   A serviceability assessment was performed and I was told service was readily available without construction, that it would only require a technician visit.   Then nothing.  The customer service call center can't help.  One operator told me my address needs to be entered into the billing system before they can help,  but my address can't get into the billing system unless someone helps me.   So I need help and I don't know where to turn.  Either customer service cannot provide service or I am looking in the wrong place within customer service.   This is quite frankly, quite ridiculous, the connection would be trivial.   Anyone have a contact within Comcast that handles service for a new addresses?

Hey there @user_o3iqnz so sorry to hear about the frustrations with getting the new home connected. We'd absolutely love to assist with this new address serviceability request.  There are multiple factors that go into connecting a new home, so the process can take a while depending on what that looks like.

Unfortunately this "solution" only points me to a customer service chat and the whole problem here is that the call center/chat customer service agents cannot deal with this issue.  I continue to be extremely frustrated.   The process was started, the survey completed, no obstacles identified,  and now no one seems to know what to do to move forward.   All agents are either clueless and go down the wrong path (e.g. placing an order at the neighbor's address or telling me a serviceability assessment is required even though that has already been done), or they completely blow me off and just say to wait.  I have been waiting for nearly 3 months - just for an answer.  If the answer was that it would take 3 months before a technician can make it out, while that would be disappointing, at least I would know what's going on.  Right now I am in the dark and no once seems to be able to help.   Beyond frustrating.

No update on this yet.  Xfinity customer service has been more of a hinderance than any help.
