outage credit intermittent

Over the past few months, I've had a number of service interruptions which have impacted my ability to work. I've resorted to having my hot spot (which costs money) on standby constantly. How do I request a credit, and resolution to this ongoing issue? The first year of the pandemic the connection was rock solid. Thanks.

Hello - I have signed up for text alerts every time there is an outage so at least I know when they are resolved. What other steps can I take? I believe Comcast knows there is an issue - they did have a crew in my yard a couple months ago replacing lines that were chewed up by squirrels, but they said it was a temporary fix so I believe they still have some action to take.

Thanks

Thanks for your response. How do I send a private message to Xfinity support? I can't find this feature on the website.

Thanks for any help.

I was able to connect to an agent who issued me credit for the days the internet was out over the past month - but more importantly I'm scheduling a time for them to come out and inspect and possibly replace the line so hopefully the outages stop. Thanks!

Concern moved here for greater exposure to actual Comcast employees for assistance.

FWIW. They stated this first: "How do I request a credit,"

@EG Thank you for pointing this out! We will make sure the OP gets taken care of. For others who are wondering the same thing, credits for verified interruptions in the area can be requested in the Xfinity Status Center at xfinity.com/status. Here is an amazing article that covers how to check to see if it is a verified interruption and check eligibility: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/check-service-outage.
