Removing old modem from Comcast account

39,571 5,578 October 24, 2015 at 07:23 AM
I've had a SB6121 for a few years that's worked well but upgraded to a SB6183 in the past couple weeks. I sold the 6121 on CL but the guy I sold it to says that when he tried to activate it (also Comcast/Xfinity) the CSR told him it was still tied to my account.

My internet works fine - I logged into my Comcast account and when I click on "Service & Support" I still see the 6121 (see attached) [in addition to the 6183]. I can't remove it online so I CSR chatted (couldn't do it) and then called them.

The guy on the phone didn't seem to really get what I was talking about and we finished the call saying he would "escalate" it and that it should "be resolved in 24 hours".

In the meanwhile I sent the CL guy an email saying it should be set to go (I think he works nights as I only get emails from him early AM).

I don't like stringing people along and really want to finish the transaction - is there anything else I can do to remove the modem from my account? [Fortunately I still have the device MAC ID and such if that's needed]

Call comcast and tell them to disassociate it from your account.

Common comcast problem, worse when the modem is moved to another state. Contact comcast again, they used to be pretty slow at resolving this. The last time I had to do it (years ago) I think it took 2 months.

It wouldn't hurt to make up and invoice for the sale that includes the modem's MAC address.
