Mobile Phone Activation Horror Story

I have been on the phone with xfinity for at least 8 hours over the past 2.5 days trying to get my phone number activated on a port-over from Consumer Cellular. Finally today xfinity tells me that the number is "now at xfinity" but that a "network error" will take up to an additional 72 hours to resolve. This is beyond frustrating -- to be without a phone since Tuesday morning.  I've spoken to 6 different people and no one seems to take ownership of the problem, and no one ever returns a call with an update.  I have now officially given up on xfinity.
