Hazardous wire and no internet

A damaged Xfinity line serving our home has left us with a complete internet outage. A technician has already confirmed the issue, but we were told the repair could take up to two weeks.

This is not a minor inconvenience. We both work from home and depend on this connection for our jobs. Being without internet for up to two weeks is simply not a realistic option.

We subscribe to Xfinity's highest residential internet tier and are trying to understand how a complete loss of service can have a repair timeline measured in weeks rather than days.

Has anyone successfully escalated a situation like this? Is there a way to get this reviewed by local management, construction, or the maintenance team responsible for line repairs?

At this point, we need service restored as quickly as possible and are looking for any escalation path that can help move this forward.

thank you

Good morning @user_u4g5xm. As someone who also works from home, I can appreciate the urgency here. We work on or complete all jobs as quickly as possible; outside of line work can take up to 14 days. However, we will stick with you to ensure the job gets scheduled and completed.

Please send us a DM with your full name and address to Xfinity Support.

To send a direct message:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.

As you are typing, a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.

An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.

Just to close on this here, more than 24 hrs later, I am still without internet and no ETA on fix. I am told that the earliest it can be checked is in 3 days! To be clear, the Xfinity customer support in private DMs has been very supportive but it is extremely disappointing that as a highest value customer of Xfinity for so many years and for an essential service like Internet, how do we not get it looked at within a day? I was first told someone is coming by tonight and now without any notification I am told that the earlier will be late afternoon on Monday. I have already mentioned that bit my wife and I work from home and really need the Internet. Very sad.

After 24 hrs and having sent multiple DMs to explain my situation, I was bumped off the list without notice from tonight to now late on the 21st, so I am expected to be without internet for 4/5 days. Very disappointing and I don’t understand how it can be days to fix a basic public utility.
