This is how setting up internet over the internet works I guess.
Needless to say that after the chat the survey I filled out wasn't good.

NK: Comcast has recently adopted stricter Federal guidelines to protect our customers from identity theft. In order for me to create your Comcast account, I am required to do a Credit Check. Do I have your approval?
Guest: Absolutely
NK: Thank you.
NK: Mathew,I am unable to build your preferred promotional rate into your order today because it hasn’t been added to our billing system yet. It can be done manually though. Occasionally, with newer promotions, there can be a lag time between the time it posts to the website and the time it is added to the ordering system.
NK: Unfortunately, my system is not updated to reflect the price you are seeing on Comcast.com; however, I will ensure that you will be able to take advantage of the pricing.
Guest: As long as we get the first 6 months for the price that was listed we are golden.
NK: In order to get this situation resolved for you, I am escalating your issue for further investigation. In the meantime, I can temporarily process the order using the regular rates for the package. Once the system is updated, you will receive a call from us to update your order with the promotional rate.Would that be fine with you?
Guest: Sure. As long as you update it to the displayed price.
NK: Thank you for understanding and cooperation.
NK: We guarantee you get the promotional offer.
