Requesting XB8 modem

I called customer service twice (4/8 and 4/12) to request XB8 modem and both times received an XB7 the model I currently have and then had to drive 25 minutes to return to nearest store who also didn't have XB8.  The last rep told me the warehouse just shipped whatever was in stock regardless of what is requested.

Hi, @user_289160. Thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention. I definitely see how something like this would be frustrating. The XB8 was released on 04/05 and has been very limited since then due to such a high demand for this amazing piece of equipment. With that said, I would be more than happy to look further into this for you in order to see what might have happened. Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address so that we can assist you further?

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to actual Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Hey there @Jgoalie! The XB8 did release on 4/5/22 but has been in very high demand so we do have a limited stock at the moment. When we place an order for an XB8, there is no guarantee that one will go out due to the limited quantity. We hope to have more stock available in the near future. Let me know if you have any other questions! 

I no longer work for Comcast.
