Switch and Remove Temporary Cable

Hey, I signed up with Xfinity two months ago, and they set up my connection with a temporary line running across my front yard. About a month ago, after the utility lines were marked, I saw an Xfinity crew come and finish laying an underground line to my house. I was told Xfinity would schedule someone to come back and switch out the temporary line and remove it. It's been about a month now, and no one has shown up. How do I get this sorted out? I really don't like that orange cable running above ground.

The concern is not "Home Security Devices And Equipment" help related........... Topic moved here to the proper help section, and for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.
