Serviceability Coordination

I moved into a house at the entrance to a new community over a year ago. I watched the Comcast Construction crew install Fiber Optic Cable and pedistals for the community. I was told, by Comcast, that my house would be included in the service. In January 2023 I received an email from Comcast stating that service was now available at my home. I was also contacted by a sales rep and signed up for service, or so I thought. I was told by the sales rep that construction would have to finish running the fiber optics cable before Installation could come out to my house. This past Saturday I received an email from someone who identified themselves as a Serviceability Coordinator who stated it would be $7205.56 to run 240' of cable install a new pedistal and then run another 220' of underground cable to bring service to my house. The email then stated Comcast was asking me to pay $3205.56 as my contribution to the project. The email writer gave me a phone number and email to contact him. I have three issues with this: 1. I was told for a year as I watched the project be worked on from numerous Comcast employees that my house was being included in the project. 2) The person who sent me the email refuses to call me back I have left numerous messages and sent several emails. 3) When you go to the Comcast website it shows I have service at my house and that it is available at my house. NONE OF THIS IS TRUE!!!!! 

I feel that Comcast lied to me from the beginning of the project. I am disgusted because nobody with Comcast has the guts to talk to me about this. All I get is the run around and transferred to a bunch of different people.

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

Sorry for any delays as I reviewed the notes on file, we are excited you have decided to join the xfinity family.

 

I do show that an email was sent to you in regard to the cost to install services on 3/18/23, when did you reach back to the construction contact that emailed you?

That's part of my frustration. Why was I told from the beginning of the project that my house was being included in the construction? Why were my neighbors told originally that they had to pay a portion of the construction cost but then were told shortly after that they didn't have to pay anything but just wait 60-120 days for the construction to be finished? Why is there a fiber optics pedistal across the street from my driveway that installation can't use? Why did I show up as service is available at my house in January and why do I show up as having service today when neither is accurate? 

As I said in my original post I feel Comcast has lied to me for a year and XfnityOrlandoM has just glossed over the situation! Why am I being asked to pay $3205.56??? Nobody from Comcast will talk to me directly and answer any of my questions!

I tried Monday, Tuesday and today to talk to the writer of the email. He finally responded today and forwarded my questions to ANOTHER person! [Edited: "Inflammatory/Language"]

I completely understand your frustration, the person you email and called will be your best point of contact, since you received contact today, I recommend you allow them time to respond back to as you, as currently I show there is a customer cost to complete the installation. I will be happy to stay in contact with until a resolution as been completed.

As long as Comcast is asking me to pay $3200 to contribute towards a project I was told I was included in I don't see how I will be satisfied with any outcome. Most likely I will not be happy with the outcome and when Starlink is available in my area I will go with them. I will then never use a Comcast product again.
