Hello. 
I am a federal employee furloughed due to the government shutdown. Is Xfinity offering any billing relief assistance to affected customers? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 
thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us this evening @user_wxb5zz. I am glad that we were able to help secure services during this difficult time. It was great that you reached out as we were able to also perform a full account review and find some savings for the services and billing. We appreciate you being a part of our Xfinity community and hope you have a great rest of your week!
