service line

I had xfinity installed in July 2025.Since i wanted an underground line they installed a temporary above ground line, laying on the ground. The new cable was buried a few weeks later . But no one has come to connect the new line and remove the temporary line. There have been 5,  I think appointments scheduled to do so but no one has showed up or called about these missed appointments. The mos recent on was for 10/13/25.

How can I get this taken care of? Calls to customer service obviously are not getting it done

Thank you @user_98p9l3 for visiting the Xfinity Community Forums for help with your line concerns. This can typically take 14 business days once the order is set in the system (not initial inquiry ticket) however delays including permits needed may be holding up the completion of the work for another 30 days.
