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.

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.
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 leaves exposed cable hazards unrepaired for months while blocking cancellation
Comcast left an exposed internet cable near a children's playset for multiple months, acknowledging the hazard with bill credits but never repairing it. When the customer attempted to cancel, representatives were unable or unwilling to process the cancellation request. Using credits as a substitute for actual remediation while blocking the consumer's exit is a deliberate retention tactic that creates ongoing physical risk.
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.
