Property Owner's Lawn Service Cut the Line

We live on base and the lawn company cut our internet line. Apparently there was a two foot section near the box between the yards that was exposed above ground. I called Xfinity and they said they could not send a tech until June 18th. I work from home and this was unacceptable. I was able to connect the broken pieces with another coax cable to restore my internet temporarily so I can work. The problem now is that Xfinity keeps detecting that my network is working and they keep trying to cancel my appointment and even did once. How can I speak to someone who understands that this fix is temporary and needs to be properly repaired and buried?

Thank you for reaching out here @user_tqwhq6. That is definitely an issue we can assist you with from here. Could you send me a direct message with the full name and complete address for your service? 

To send a direct message [private message]:

   Click the "Direct Message" icon or  https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging

   Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

   The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.

   - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.

   - An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.

   Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

   Press Enter to send it

@user_tqwhq6 I have to say I'm impressed with your temporary "fix".  However, I hope someone can come out sooner and really fix the cable for you.

Thanks! My husband didn't believe it would work when I told him what I was going to try, but I'm just glad it did.
