Confusing email from Xfinity

I am reproducing a portion of an email I received from Comcast today (April 24, 2025):

"...in the coming days, we'll be making improvements to the Xfinity network in your neighborhood. ...
"Our most current information has us starting work in your area on 01/21, affecting service at [address deleted]. 
"How this work will affect you
"As our teams work to make these enhancements, you can expect service outages. This downtime will affect all of your Xfinity services, and if you are an Xfinity Voice customer, you will not be able to call 911 from your wired phone line."

I tried the automated assistant to see what that January date should have been, but that was hopeless. I then called Comcast, and the agent told me she couldn't see that any work had been scheduled for my area.

Now, an outage affecting my telephone service is significant, and I want to know what's going on. If no work is scheduled, what triggered that email? And if work is scheduled, how can I find out when--and how can I trust any email from Comcast warning me about it (or anything else, for that matter).

@User_8bs01h Thank you for posting on our community forum so we can find some clarity about the Email notification you received regarding upcoming work in your area. You'll see the Xfinity Verified Email logo in your webmail inbox next to any email sent from a verified Comcast or Xfinity source. Do you see this logo attached to the Email you received? 

 

I'm happy to check your account to find any additional information about upcoming maintenance work in your area. Please send a direct message by clicking the chat icon in the upper right corner of the page, click on the pen and paper icon, then enter “Xfinity Support” in the “To” section. Include your name and address so I can find the account and get started on a resolution.

Yes, the logo was there.

I just returned from a trip to the local Xfinity store (a 30 mile roundtrip!) only to learn that they knew nothing and couldn't check the work schedule. They said the email was corporate.

I don't see a chat icon, just the notifications bell and the silhouette for profile info. Will try to dig up old communications with support to see if can get to you that way.

Thanks for offering to help.

P.S. Am in Firefox. Switched to Chrome, and spotted the chat icon, so address etc., now on its way to you.
