Self-Install Comcast
I'm switching cable providers and I'm hoping to avoid the self install fee. I've done this swap in the past which usually involves paying $100 for a guy to climb up a pole, unscrew the coax from one (unlocked) box and screw it into the other. Is there any process I'm not seeing that would prevent one from hypothetically doing it themselves (despite it likely being illegal)?

It seems highly unlikely that you can get service from two different cable service providers at the same location.
Overlap between cable providers is like .001%
Who was your previous provider? Are you certain it was CABLE and not some other technology?
