Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyComcast technicians repeatedly miss appointments and falsely close tickets

ISP Leaves Lightning-Damaged Cable Unrepaired for 7 Months With No Follow-Up
Comcast ran a temporary cable after a lightning strike and filed a work order, then went silent for 6+ months with no repair scheduled. The customer pays full price for service through unreliable temporary infrastructure. No ISP repair escalation mechanism exists to force a work order into an active queue.

Storm-damaged utility lines go unrepaired despite promised restoration timelines
A long-time Xfinity customer had a service line to their house damaged by a fallen tree limb during a storm, was assured a technician would repair it on a specific day, and then had a follow-up call incorrectly close out the issue by conflating outdoor cable damage with in-home wireless service.
ISP outage repairs mishandled by unclear appointment types and poor follow-through
A customer whose internet outage repair required multiple visits was not told their first appointment was only a "wait list" slot, and a second repair visit failed to fix the issue, leaving them without service for nearly two weeks despite repeated contact. This reflects systemic gaps in ISP dispatch communication and repair-verification processes.
