Your E-Mail Message: "Schedule a technician visit – on us – to improve your service"

I received an e-mail message with the subject line above, and the message beginning 

An issue with your internet/ Schedule a free technician visit
Bringing customers like you the ultimate internet experience is our number one priority. To ensure you have a fast, reliable connection, we're proactively monitoring our Xfinity 10G Network.

As a result, we've identified an issue that may affect your internet and video services. A technician will need access to your home to identify the source of the problem and to fix the issue. 

[...]
What exactly is the issue you've identified that requires a home visit? Is the issue outside or inside my home (for example, with your junction box wiring outside, or with your modem inside)? Is this something I could verify (and possibly fix) myself? How soon would your predicted service degradation occur? 
I ask because we have an immunocompromised situation and we can't have strangers in the house at this time. 
Thanks!

I started a Direct Message as directed, and waited 10 minutes. Nothing happened. Is something supposed to happen?

XfinityShawn -- I did see a reply to my Direct Message after some time, and support staff explained that the system is more like e-mail with delayed replies than like a chat with live replies. However, support staff asked me to authenticate myself using a code that expired quickly, making the system more like a chat; I missed that code. Following instructions, to authenticate myself I then sent my full account number ... but never received a reply. Perhaps the "conversation" timed-out overnight. Should I try again, and begin by sending my full account number again? Thanks -- Michael
