Unlimited data temporarily unavailable

I would like to add unlimited data to my internet service, it says I can do this for $30/mo extra on my bill. When I try to sign up, it says that this is temporarily unavailable. Can someone please assist with adding the $30/mo unlimited data option to my plan?

Hello, @user_o36zer! Thank you for creating a post about your service change concerns. We definitely want you to have all the services and features you need, so I'm happy to help out today! To clarify, were you trying to add Unlimited Data through our Plan Builder? Or had you simply logged in to My Account and tried adding it that way?

Hi Sara, thank you for your help. I have tried both through the plan builder and through the My Account page. In the plan builder I do not see any options for unlimited data. I also don't wish to change my internet speed or add any other services -- just unlimited data. 

When trying through My Account it always says temporarily unavailable. I have also tried by using the link in my latest e-mail that says I am over my data limit -- that links to xfinity.com/usagemeter.

I can see a message that has a link to "Get unlimited data" - I click that and then it takes me to a maze of other pages. One of the other pages says "Using your own modem + router? Add our unlimited data plan for $30/mo". I click that link and that is when it always says temporarily unavailable.

I suspect this is related to my use of my own modem/router as I have googled and seen dozens of others who had the same issue in the same circumstances.

Could you please send our team a direct message to get started?
