The service protection plan covers service calls that 1. Require repairs to twisted pair telephone wiring, Xfinity TV wiring and/or Xfinity internet service wiring located inside your home and/or 2. Identify whether the source of a service problem resides within the inside wiring or your on-premise equipment.

If you do not subscribe to the Service Protection Plan, Comcast will repair only using wiring related to the service we provide to you, and for doing so we will charge certain fees. Repair and maintenance of wire beginning about 12 inches outside of your residence and extending to the phone jacks and cable and internet outlets and extensions in your residence is our responsibility, except for non-xfinity voice customers where the wiring is owned by another telephone service provider, or unless there is deliberate damage to the wiring outside of your home,

Subscriber Line Charge
Comcast does not charge federal or state subscriber line charges for its XFINITY Voice service, providing great savings for the customer. The Federal Communications Commission has authorized regulated telephone companies to assess a federal Subscriber Line Charge to cover a portion of the costs of their local networks. Many regulated telephone companies, including most regional Bell operating companies, assess this fee, which can range up to $6.50 per month, per line or greater. Additionally, some state public utilities commissions permit regulated telephone companies to assess an additional state Subscriber Line Charge to compensate for part of the companies’ costs of providing the local network associated with state services. XFINITY Voice customers can avoid these costly federal or state Subscriber Line Charges.
