Xfinity Leaves Cable Unburied for Months After Installation, Creating Safety Hazard
After installing internet service requiring a new cable run, Xfinity failed to bury the cable despite multiple scheduled appointments and false completion notices over seven months. The exposed cable poses a safety risk and is blocking active construction work. This reflects a systemic ISP field operations follow-through failure where completion is marked administratively without physical verification.

surfaced semanticallyCable Installer's Incomplete Property Repair Leaves Customer Billed for Unfinished Work
A Comcast/Xfinity technician drilled through a customer's home and left a cable unburied in the yard; after a month, multiple return visits and mishandled work orders still hadn't fixed it, and despite verbal promises of a credit, the customer was charged the full installation fee for an incomplete job. Reflects a structural pattern of poor field-service coordination and billing that doesn't track actual job completion.
Xfinity left exposed buried-cable wire after customer cancellation
Former Comcast/Xfinity customer reports an exposed buried cable wire on their property after the installation crew failed to restore the sod. Wire remains years after service termination.
Telecom Buried Cable Work Takes 7 Months With Improper Installation
Comcast took over 7 months to bury a replacement cable line, with subcontractors ignoring contact requirements, installing the cable incorrectly across a driveway, and creating future infrastructure damage risk. Customers have no mechanism to verify or challenge infrastructure work quality before it causes expensive problems. Telecom infrastructure complaint escalation to PUC regulators remains the primary recourse.
Cable Contractor Debris Left Uncleared for Weeks Despite Multiple Tickets
A telecom contractor performing infrastructure work left equipment covers and disturbed ground at a residential property, including near mailboxes. Despite multiple complaint tickets and in-person visits, remediation was not completed for nearly a month.
Comcast technicians repeatedly miss appointments and falsely close tickets
Comcast failed to send technicians to five consecutive appointments to repair a damaged wire, while marking each ticket as resolved without work being done. Customer service cannot escalate the issue or guarantee future attendance. This field service coordination failure left a customer without internet service for weeks.
