Background: Moving downstairs. Same building, same layout, same service, just downstairs. Comcast won’t actually touch my equipment because it’s a TiVO – for the cablecard install we actually had to take it and insert it because he wouldn’t touch it. Previous tenants had service – it should just work, right?<\/p>\n

\nMarry Ann > While I process your order, please provide the following information: 1) Nearest cross street or street perpendicular to your new home and 2) Two telephone numbers for our technician to call on the date of installation.
\nChris > it is literally the same address just a different unit number
\nChris > Main Street
\nChris > 111-111-1111,222-222-2222
\nMarry Ann > Thank you for the information, Chris.
\nMarry Ann > Chris, I have arranged the remote deactivation of your services on July 29. You do not need to be around during the physical disconnection of the services, our technician will only be disconnecting from the pole.
\nChris > the building has free service to all tenants, I don’t think he’ll be disconnecting anythign physically
\nMarry Ann > Okay, Chris.
\nMarry Ann > Since you are moving within the same market, you can take your equipment to your new address. The technician will take care of the rest of the equipments and\/or materials during installation.
\nChris > um there’s no need for installation. everything is literally exactly the same, except 9 floors down
\nMarry Ann > Chris it is the COMCAST procedure to let our Technician visit the new address to check the house for any possible problems with wirings to ensure that you will not compromise the value of your services. No need to worry though, I will check what I can do to help you with the setup costs.
\nChris > It’s a time issue. If the previous tenants had cable and internet and have been moved out for less than a week, it will work.
\nMarry Ann > I do apologize that the new address that you are moving to is not illegible for self installation, Chris.
\nMarry Ann > There will be a one time installation charges for your installation of services which normally costs $99, but instead you will be receiving our discounted installation fee\/s of $34.99 as a Movers premium, and this will be for our technician’s professional service fee. This charge will be added to your new bill at your new address and is not collectable during date of installation.
\nChris > how about just changing the billing address and not moving service?
\nMarry Ann > Let me check that for you, Chris.
\nMarry Ann > Thank you for waiting, Chris.
\nMarry Ann > Chris let me verify, you will be transferring to this new address 1 Main Street unit #101, right?
\nChris > yes
\nMarry Ann > Thank you.
\nMarry Ann > Chris, it is not possible to change the billing address since you are moving to a different apartment number, we need to have a technician to hook up everything for you to make sure that you can enjoy your internet service to the new address without any problem.
\nChris > considering that last time the technician wouldn’t actually touch anything because we have a tivo (customer equipment), that’s amusing
\nMarry Ann > Shall we proceed with the transfer now?
\nMarry Ann > I understand Chris, no worries though, I can give you discount for the installation fee, normally it is for $99 but I can give you a discounted price of $34.99.
\nChris > I understand that, think I’ll call support. Thanks for your time
\nMarry Ann > You are most welcome.
\nMarry Ann > You can call 1-800-934-6489
\nChris > thank you for that, have a good day
\nMarry Ann > Is there anything else I can help you with today?
\nChris > nope, thanks
\nMarry Ann > I will do the initial transfer by notating into your account your preferred disconnection and installation date, Chris.
\nChris > thanks, that will speed things up
\nMarry Ann > Good luck with your move! Thank you for your time and patience. if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to chat with us again. We’ll be happy to serve you. Have a good one!
\nMarry Ann > Bye.
