You would have to pay by Credit card.

So I'm getting new internet soon, through Xfinity/Comcast (save my soul), and while trying to ask them how I would be paying (they're scheduled to come install on the 14th), the answer I would get each time is "Yes, you can show the technician your identity when they arrive to do the installation."

Now. I don't know if it's just me. But that doesn't answer shit.

Anyways, I am currently unable to set up my Comcast ID/Account as my social security number is sitting pretty at my previous living space. I had to move, and it's a 40 minute drive there. I'm going there to pick up the last of my things on the 12th, and will get it then.

So what I ask is...

Will I be paying in cash, or will the technician have a Debit card scanner? Or do I set up payments online using my debit card, and will I NEED my Comcast ID set up with my payment information for my internet to start working and such?

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

Thank you.

It also seems like I'll need my SSN and account set up ASAP, then, payment information on it ready and all...

Now, I only have a Debit card. It should still work, yes?

You can call Comcast to ask if they accept debit card.
