Tech Visit Charge

Why am I still being charged for a tech visit when the technician found that the problem was with the outside Comcast/Xfinity line, not my equipment or inside wiring?  I opened a ticket with an agent but was just informed that my request for removing the charge was denied and ticket closed.  Doesn't seem right when this had nothing to do with anything in my home.  This entire activation has been a real struggle.

@user_1adsyf Thank you for working with us regarding the charge for the service technician visit. We have a helpful resource that outlines how to prepare for service appointments and explains our charging policy, which you can find here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/prepare-for-your-service-visit.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to start a new post in the Forums. I hope you have a great weekend!

Good evening, @user_1adsyf! Thank you for reaching out about the visit charge. Our installation or unsuccessful installation visits cost $100 regardless of the work that needs to be completed to get your service up and running. We have a separate type of visit called a trouble call. This is when you have established service and have not changed any of your equipment in the last 30 days. These visits are free of charge unless the root cause of the problem is customer owned equipment or wiring.

 

Did you recently start service at this address or have you changed equipment in the last 30 days? 

 

Please also note that sending unsolicited private messages to myself or any other user is a direct violation of our forum guidelines. You must first create a Public post requesting assistance, and once a Comcast verified employee responds and asks for a private message to be sent, you can then proceed with doing so.

We already had Xfinity internet and mobile services but upgraded plans and received a new Xfinity gateway device.  Once we installed the new device, our  internet service was unavailable.  Technician explained that he discovered that a MoCA filter was previously installed outside by another technician and needed to be removed for the new gateway to function properly.

@user_1adsyf Go ahead and send us a direct message with your full name and the service address. We can look into the tech charge for the visit.

I incorrectly sent a DM to Xfinity Support yesterday before I was asked for a private message and seems I am unable to proceed with that conversation (greyed out).  Is there a way I can clear that message so that I can provide my details?  Sorry, I am new at this forum.  Thanks.

It shows the messages were deleted. I will try and send you a direct message now asking for your information. See if that opens the DM back up.
