Unable to activate or change internet plan

I recently moved and have my own modem, but the Xfinity app won't activate it no matter what I do including check/tighten coax cable, restarting it, etc. I get internet so obviously it's working, but it just won't activate. I've talked both to an live chat rep and called to talk to a person over the phone but still no activation. Because of this, I can't change my plan or update it to a newer one and haven't been able to since I put in the move order last month. When I go to change my plan, I get through to the add-ons then get an error telling me to try again.
My bill is coming up and I would like to change my internet plan, is there any way I can get my modem activated? When I talk to the chat reps as well, they're giving me completely different deals (not what I asked for or trying to get me to bundle mobile despite me saying multiple times that I do NOT want to) than what is being offered online to me.

Can you go to an Xfinity location?  Talk to a real person.

Sadly, all they told me at the Xfinity store was that they can't make changes to my account since there is the move order and the order was made by someone else (online). No one at the store was able to do anything with my account at all.
