No WiFi for 24 hours, soonest tech will take 3 more days

3rd time in less than 1 month without internet, and I work from home. This time, it has been out for 24 hours and a tech will not be here until Monday. 
I have lost work, which has caused incredible stress and financial hardship. For this billing cycle, the charge was barely adjusted. Please adjust the bill further, as this service disruption continues to occur on a constant basis.

Also wondering why a tech takes over 3 days.  My neighbors and I have an outage that started at the same time, so it's believed to be an outdoor issue (not a problem with the respective modems).

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

user_a18b30 I appreciate you creating a post and am sorry to hear that you've been having trouble with your service. It can definitely be a major inconvenience when things are not working properly. The scheduling is based on the technician's availability, but you can always check the Xfinity app/website to manage the appointment to see if anything becomes available earlier. For billing, credits are based on the daily rate for the monthly bill. For example, if you pay $70/mo and have issues for two days, the credit would be around $5, as the daily rate is a little over $2 a day.

The loss of internet service is not an inconvenience; it has resulted in a direct disruption to my ability to work, which carries real financial and professional consequences. The current framing of this issue as a routine outage with a nominal daily credit does not reflect the severity of the impact.
While I understand that technician scheduling is based on availability, that does not address the underlying issue: the service failure itself and the lack of urgency in resolving it. Being directed to “check the app” for potential openings shifts the burden onto the customer rather than demonstrating proactive service recovery.
Regarding billing, a prorated credit based solely on the monthly rate is insufficient in situations where service loss results in measurable business disruption. I am requesting that this matter be escalated for a more appropriate resolution, including:
• Expedited technician dispatch or priority scheduling
• A more meaningful service credit that reflects the duration and impact of the outage
• Clear communication on what is being done to prevent extended downtime
If this cannot be addressed at your level, please escalate this to a supervisor or retention specialist who has the authority to provide a more reasonable resolution.

Been with comcast since late 90’s.  Thru times, we have gone to WiFi/internet services. Our home would be considered a smart home depending on WiFi.  With that said, why should it take 3 days for a tech to get out here? N get us up n running?  So inconvenient. This is about the 3rd or 4th time n its always on the incoming line.

user_xi3r49 Hello and thank you for reaching out via our Xfinity Community Forums. I can see why you're frustrated. When you depend on your connection every day, waiting several days for a technician can feel like a long time. I'd like to help take a closer look and see what options may be available. Have you already been scheduled for a visit? Also, are you currently without service, or is the connection working intermittently? You mentioned this has happened before and was related to the line coming into the home. Do you know if a technician has confirmed that's the issue this time as well?

 

If you're willing, share a few more details about what's been going on, and we'll do our best to help review the situation with you. 💙

Tech app. Thursday at 8 am last I was told.  Don’t have a choice..5 days from time of outage.  Not acceptable coming from a company like Comcast.  Another ISP just recently ran fiber to our property.  May be time to try it out after 30 years with Comcast and get this kind of service.. just a thought

I completely understand your frustration, @user_xi3r49 . Waiting five days for a technician appointment after an outage is a long time, especially when you're relying on those services every day. After 30 years as a Comcast customer, I can certainly see why this experience would leave you feeling disappointed and questioning your options. When you've been a loyal customer for that long, it's understandable to expect quicker resolution and more urgency when service is interrupted. Having another provider bring fiber to your property naturally gives you something to compare against, and I don't blame you for considering alternatives if your current needs aren't being met. I sincerely hope the technician is able to get everything resolved on Thursday, but I completely understand why you're feeling let down by the situation. Thank you for sharing your feedback, it's valuable, and your concerns are absolutely understandable given the circumstances. 🙏
