can't activate - Sorry, that didn't go as planned

Purchased new xFi Pod from app. Received and unable to activate. Message say "Sorry that didn't go as planned" with no other code to provide to support. This has been escalated from Tier1 to advanced services, to Engineering. Nobody is really reading notes and I am sick of repeating and performing the same troubleshooting steps. At this point my gateway has been restarted multiple times and well as master resetted. Internet works fine otherwise without the Pod. Somebody has to be able to help me. It just spins at connecting to pod then throws that error.

It's been over 8 hours of troubleshooting. I received an automated txt from Engineer that work has been completed. I pressed N since the pod still refuses to activate. It said the phone call would be immediate. It took a few hours. Worst of all, a human never calls me back. It is a robot that connects me to Tier1 and we need to go through the whole process of explaining and escalating again. I'm sick of it.

I've heard everything from the xfi pod needs to be replaced to "your network information is missing on our back-end" to your modem isn't showing as fully activated. Yeah right how is my internet working. I don't know what else to do at this point. No I am not using a hardwire for that first activation

I am having the same exact issue. My pod however isn’t new I just got a new modem and  ever since it won’t reconnect to the new modem.Before the new modem switch it worked flawlessly but now it’s no longer on my account and when I try to activateI just get that same sorry that didn’t go as planned error. Nobody at Comcast has any idea on what’s going on and I’ve explained myself over 50 times to multiple reps over and over again. If anyone can help please reach out asap as I need this pod for my job!!!

@applelific51881. I can understand wanting to take care of this and I see the ticket that was put in on the 6th. It is still in progress and I will keep an eye on it and follow up with you here. There are more steps we can take if the ticket does not progress to anything. Thanks for your time working on it.
