Hi @user_ex8z0s! Thanks for reaching out about the cable line. 

Drop bury requests take about 14 business days after the technician submits the order. However, please keep in mind some areas need a permit, which can take five to 30 days for approval.

 

We can check on the status of this for you. Just send us a direct message with your full name and service address to get started.

  • Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list which appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line
  • Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
  • Press Enter to send it

I don't see where I can do this.  The ticket number is [Edit: Removed Ticket number/PII].  It has been over 1 month

Not a problem, I appreciate you sharing that. I will edit the reply to remove the ticket but it does show closed- which happens when a work order is scheduled. 

 

From that it does state this was completed with a new line put in place and the only thing left to remove was the temporary line. We may have to reach out to our local team. When you can, can you please send us that direct message so that we can go over contact information and get that set up for you?
