MTA MAC is already burned into the device and cannot be changed or modified.
I dont think there is any problem with MTA MAC.
the problem here is Comcast still has your old account open. They need to COMPLETELY REMOVE the Modem from your OLD ACCOUNT and then REPROVISION the modem in new account. It looks like ONLY DATA provisioning was removed and VOICE PROVISIONING was not removed from the old account.

Thank you, vkdelta Appreciate the info.
I had spoken with the supervisor (Jonah) of the Xfinity technician who was at our home last week. He was the one who suggested I contact Netgear, and then get back to him. Jonah gave me his direct line to call him back on when I got any feedback. As an interim update, I have two calls in to Jonah so far (one yesterday, one today). No response so far. After I speak with him and relay your information hopefully this thing will be resolved. I'll share whatever I learn as we move forward, as I'm sure you'll want to know for the future as well.
Thank you again.
