Need to relocate overhead exterior cable line

Due to construction at my house I need to change where the Xfinity internet cable line enters my house. We currently have an overhead line and we just need to relocate it to a new spot on the same house. Can you help me set up a technician appointment to deal with this?

Hi user_muohd6, thank you for reaching out to our Forum and providing those details in your post. I hope the construction goes by as planned and quickly. I can certainly help with your relocation request, but I'd like to set the stage first. We'd need to schedule a tech visit to survey your line, from there, the tech would determine if it's possible to relocate your line. This would be a chargeable visit, with a $100 fee. After that, the tech would be able to create a work order to complete the line relocation. What questions did you have based on that information? I see that you also sent over a DM, so we can pivot there once we're ready to proceed. As a friendly reminder for next time, please hold off on sending a DM until being requested by an official employee. Sending an unsolicited DM is a violation of our Forum Guidelines.

Thank you, based on this information I think I'd like to setup the tech visit to determine our options. Electrical service is also getting moved, so I'm guessing there will need to be some kind of temporary solution while construction is happening. I sent another DM.

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

Hello,

Commenting on this post again because I need a new appointment for the same reason (last one turned out to be premature). Construction has progressed to the point where new electrical service is being set up so Xfinity should be able to setup the new service drop now. Can anybody help me again? Thanks.

Please send us a direct chat message with your full name and complete service address to “Xfinity Support”. To do so, click on the chat icon located at the top right of this forums page.
