Cable 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.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyISP Installation Technicians Damage Customer Property With No Reliable Compensation Process
A customer reports that ISP installation technicians damaged home siding, left an exposed wire, and broke a sprinkler pipe across two separate visits, and the company refused to waive even a small service fee despite acknowledging the incidents. This points to a weak process for handling installer-caused property damage claims.
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.
Comcast charged surprise install fee and reneged on promised credit
Comcast tech ran cable line for $100 unmentioned fee; promised credit twice (one call recorded) but never applied. Customer left chasing escalation.
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.
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.
