peacock subscription activation impossible through Xfinity site.

Has anyone ever fixed this? I see a ton of questions and complaints about this all over the internet but no actual fix of the issue. I spent 5 useless hours on chat and on the phone with Xfinity customer service yesterday. Seriously the worst customer service experience of my life. Absolutely no one knew what they were doing and offered zero assistance. Bought the 1 gb plan specifically for the free Peacock for two years so I can watch Premiere League football matches but now that seems impossible. Xfinity website goes nowhere and the links customer service kept sending me on were useless as well. Any actual working advice appreciated.

no. just tell me the fix. I'm done with customer service. this goes nowhere unless I can talk to someone (preferably a manager in the IT or website dept) who actually knows what they are talking about.

I'm sorry to say, this is not generally a cut-and-dry situation, @user_yp8ior. If you just signed up for Gigabit service but are not getting the activation prompt, we may need to add the Peacock code to your account manually. If the code is there, but you are still not getting the activation prompt, there may be a different issue. It can vary from person to person, and from region to region. The only way for us to know for sure is by looking at your account and finding out what's missing, then taking steps to put things in order.

 sounds like your website is faulty. I mean, it obviously is faulty. There is no question about that. Can you guarantee someone with expertise will actually assist me? I'm done with starting from scratch talking with someone who is 15 time zones away who knows nothing about how to help with this and simply wastes by time with garbage texts and unhelpful phone support.
