Remove old xfinity boxes

I would like to have old Xfinity equipment (cable lines, box, etc.) on the exterior of the house removed. They were there when we bought the house, and I have no idea how old they are. We are not active customers. I would like them removed fully and disposed of properly. Thanks.

Hello user_c04vgl we can certainly submit a request to our tech team to remove any unused lines and equipment. To clarify this is a box attached to the house and not one of the green pedestals?

I have somewhat the same problem, i have an old comcast box and a newer xfinity box. I'm painting my house and would like the old unused box and cables removed. I started a ticket with support but it was closed ten mintues after it was opened with no explaination.

Hey @jo3_6pack, Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience regarding the exterior cable equipment. With the request showing as completed, it most likely means that the request was reviewed, and an appointment was scheduled. 

 

Please 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. This is just a heads-up for future reference, but I look forward to further assisting you.

 

We recommend reviewing our Getting Started in the Xfinity Help & Support Forum, Xfinity Forum Guidelines, and our Xfinity Forum Acceptable Use Policy to familiarize yourself with the rules and guidelines. 

 

To begin, please send a direct message by clicking the chat icon in the upper right corner of the page, clicking on the pen and paper icon, and then entering “Xfinity Support” in the “To” section. Please include your full first/last name and complete service address (Including the city, state, and zip code), and I'll be happy to help look at the request you have already submitted.
