in need of a technician that can extend our fiber cable inside our apartment

We are renovating our apartment and need to have our fiber cable rerouted due to the wall being removed. After speaking with a live agent and explaining that it will require new fiber cable to be spliced onto the existing cable they sent a technician who was instructed to supply us with a cable box. How do we get through to someone who understands what we need.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

I was able to chat with an agent today. I put in writing exactly what we need the technician to do. They confirmed that they will put those notes in the service request. A technician will be coming on Monday. Hopefully, xfinity dispatches a technician who can splice fiber optic cable.

Thank you for reaching out. I am happy to hear you have a technician appointment. If the line needs to be wall fish our technicians do not do that. Is that what you are trying to achieve @SLCsolo?

No, currently the wall was removed leaving the existing cable that ran up through it Intact and exposed. Additional fiber cable needs to be fused on to the existing cable so that it will be long enough to be moved out of the way. Our contractor will handle that part, we just need a technician that can splice/fuse additional cable to make the it possible to move it
