Hurricane Ira ripped the cable line from the house, I am finding it difficult to report that a physical issue is causing internet/tv outages (even though I don't have power).  I want to make sure it is addressed, how do I do so?

I am homeless due to Ian and have no way to access my services. Can I suspend my account until further notice? If not, please terminate my account immediately and accept the loss of your equipment, since I cannot access my home to return your equipment and may not be able to until they restore the bridge/causeway to Sanibel Island where I lived. Your customer service site will not allow me to speak to a live agent to handle this problem and I do not need another bill piling up. Thank you.

Hello- we understand Xfinity is working to restore services following Hurricane Ian and appreciate it. Our entire neighborhood has been restored for both internet and TV, however, we seem to be the one house still without service. It is not allowing us to troubleshoot or report this via app or phone and won’t connect us to an agent. Please advise how we can report that our one house is still without service? We are concerned it could be an outside cable issue or something else effecting our house only. Thank you!

I'm in Lake county FL. Where I live, we were not impacted as much from the storm as others were. However, my services are spotty since the storm. This is the second day that the status shows an outage in my area. Can someone give me an update as to when to expect this to be completed? I gave up on online work yesterday because of the internet dropping. Last night, cable TV locked up a few times, and one time my DVR rebooted on its own. That was a first for that to happen. I haven't tried much online today since the Xfinity app won't let me run a speed test because of an outage. All day yesterday, the completion times kept changing. Today there's no completion time at all for the outage. Thanks.

I live on riverhomes lane in Bonita springs. And my business requires me to have internet, I can't even help the community by reaching out to customers. I am an electrician and basically my business can't operate. There is a cable line down on the corner of 41 and w terry street in Bonita springs It has been down since the storm.

I'm located in Jacksonville Florida,  after hurricane Ian I have no internet, no TV services. When  is the service going to be resolved. The app says you detected and outage, tells me to input my phone number they will text with update its been 3 days without your services.  I need feed back now, I'm taking my business elsewhere if this is not resolved, to a more reliable service provider.

Hello @user_d0e379 and thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums. I can definitely understand the frustration with the service interruption. After a major hurricane there are many factors involved in getting your services up and running. Even though power may be restored to your home we may have plants or nodes that are still without power. Additionally there may be breaks in the cable lines that need to be repairs. The Xfinity My Account app provides the most up to date information for service interruptions. We truly appreciate your patience as our technicians work as quickly and safely as possible to restore services to your home.

I left my home to escape the hurricane. Now, no access to Pine Island. I have no idea when/if I will be able to return home. Island still has no power as far as I know and no cable. How are you handling situations like this? My bill is set up to be automatically paid thru my credit card.  There should not be any fees from Sept. 28 onward.

I apologize for posting here but I can't get through on the phone number and I need assistance.

My home has been without service since 09/28/22 due to Hurricane Ian. My husband and I work primarily from home and are unable to do so because of the outages. I know a Hurricane is not something within Comcast's control but I'm wondering if there will be any credits offered do to the lack of service?

I have attempted to request a credit through the website but it continues to tell me I am ineligible which I am not sure as to why.

Thank you

Thank you for reaching out, @trdubose06! First and foremost, I hope you, your family, and your home are all okay. With that said, I want to say that I really appreciate your question. When it comes to service interruptions it is always our intention to adjust the account for the downtime as we don't want you paying for services that you did not recieve. Normally, these adjustments are processed after the interruption has been resolved, we do this in order to ensure that the account is adjusted for the entire time and to ensure that the entire adjustment posts in one transaction as this can help avoid any confusion with posting time frames. 

Customers can now request a credit for a service interruption easier than ever without speaking to an agent (this feature isn’t available to customers in California at this time). Qualified customers now receive a one-time credit when reporting their service interruption through the Xfinity Status Center in My Account. To receive the credit, you must login with your XFINITY ID. Please visit https://comca.st/3bOgFmh and click the link, Tell us more about your experience in the Interruption Tips section at the bottom of the page. 

 

If you run into any trouble retrieving your credit, please let us know and we will be happy to have you send us a private message so we can review your account further and apply the appropriate credit.

Just received an email from the city of Punta Gorda regarding the restoration of services.    Email stated "If power returns and there is still no comcast service, please call us at 1-800-COMCAST".   Understandably, couldn't get through on that line.   Power has been back for 3 days, just wondering if there is any ballpark ETA on xfinity restoral.    I understand the situation with IAN, and if there is no ETA yet, that is fine.   Just asking based on that email received.

Thank you

I hope you and your family are safe, even if you have power our nodes & plants in the area may still be damaged or without power. Our amazing field techs are working 24/7 to get everyone's service back up & running as soon as possible. You can track the service interruption via our amazing Xfinity my account app https://comca.st/3fGMguH, you can even set up text alerts, once the service is back up and running you can obtain credits for the down time, just visits https://comca.st/3SMNAdS and clicks the link, Check eligibility in the Tips in case of an outage section at the bottom of the page.

@XfinityOrlandoM​ We live in St James City on Pine Island and have internet/TV & mobile service. Road to the island is impassable and all utilities are down. Time for fix is unknown. Will Xfinity suspend billing for internet/TV until service is available, but continue our mobile service?

I am sorry to hear about your situation @user_bfe346. I hope you and your family are safe and well during the aftermath of hurricane Ian. I certainly want to make sure we address all your questions. Credits are handled on a case by case basis and cannot be assessed until full services have been restored. If your home suffered damage, you can suspend your services by filling out this form.

 

Your mobile service will not change. For customers in affected areas, we won’t reduce your speeds after you hit 20 GB. You'll still receive emails about nearing and reaching the usual 20 GB threshold, since these are automatically generated, but you can disregard them. Remember that you can use your mobile device as a personal hotspot to connect your other devices to the Internet. Data used as a mobile hotspot will count toward your data charges for the billing cycle. You can also turn on your phone’s power saving mode to help make your battery life last longer.

 

I took this information from our weather response FAQ article https://comca.st/3SWM4py. This article should answer any questions you might have moving forward. 

 

Please see https://comca.st/3SQfipQ to stay connected with up-to-date information, tip/tricks to help stay connected, and ways to utilize your services during the interruption. 

 

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. You are all in our thoughts during this difficult time.

Like many others on here, I am impacted by Hurricane Ian and understand it is not Comcast's fault a natural disaster occurred.  However, like most folks, I work from home and currently unable to do so caused by the outage.  My employer is empathetic to my circumstances, but would like an estimated date for the restoration of services.  All of these blanket responses and messages received from Comcast are not helpful.  Is there any ACTUAL time frame we can be provided as to better determine a interim solution on my side (IE relocate to an area with working internet from another carrier)?  Not knowing if it will be a week, two, etc. is impactful to so many things, including remaining employed to keep a roof over my head.
