Hi - we are in timber bend subdivision and have had power back for a week. Original restoration update said we would have service back by 10/6 but since then the message has reverted to “as soon as it’s safe we will start working on restoring”. Can you give a better timeline for when our service will be back?

My internet finally came back up yesterday (Saturday, October 8th) morning, was up until last night, then went back down until around 4:00PM today (Sunday.) No idea how long it will stay up this time. When it is up, it is laggy and I am seeing about 40% packet loss. It may be that the packet loss is due to there being down equipment as a result of Ian and so the remaining bandwidth is experiencing high congestion. But if that was the case, I would have expected the drops to clear or reduce last night as traffic decreased. I am seeing a similar effect with cell data. It's almost unusable during the day - usually just times out - because there is so much traffic. Late at night or very early morning, it works well. I didn't see any improvement in packet loss last night before the Xfinity modem lost connectivity. I expect there to be people down because of lines being down and infrastructure being without power. I didn't expect to see around 200Mbps on my 1Gbps connection due to packet loss. Is this being worked on as well as the downed lines and other damage? When can we expect a healthy network for those who do have connectivity?

FLP has already finished work in our area of Port Charlotte near Ollie's pond, two days ago. I have a downed com wire between the pole in front of my house to a pole at the street corner. I called it in last Monday. No updates and as far as I've seen, no Comcast trucks. I work from home as well, and camping the Punta Gorda library is not a great option from service I'm still paying for. Where are you guys?

I live in Naples, Florida 34102. I still don’t have internet back after Ian. Power came back a week ago but still no internet. I haven’t been able to get a hold of anyone at Xfinity to help fix it. Please advise. Thank you!

I'm sorry you're still without internet, and I hope that you and your family are doing okay.

It's really possible that some of the infrastructure was heavily damaged by water and will need to be replaced. That and there's probably not enough crew able to get out and assess damage so that work can continue. Remember, those technicians probably lost a lot, too. I know that several of the offices are sticks now, so it might be some time before things get back up and running normally again. Unfortunately, there really isn't any concrete timetable at this time that can be given for fixes. I'm sorry.

Hello, I don’t know if this is the place to report this but we have power at [Edited: "Personal Information"] Cape Coral florida, the whole neighborhood does, but no internet. I have noticed a downed line on nw 7th terrace. The conditions are very safe, the day after the hurricane we personally cleared the roads for trees and such, I just thought id let you guys know to help both you and us.

I have been without service since 9-28-2022. Can I expect that I won't be charged during this time that I have had no service?

Hello @user_4495d7, and thank you for reaching out about the interruption time due to Hurricane Ian. The billing will remain active during the downtime, but we adjust it once service is restored as we don't expect you to pay for the service when you couldn't use it. This link will take you to the form you need to fill out for the adjustment https://www.xfinity.com/support/status, but please remember that you fill it out after service is restored. While the interruption is in place, you just get errors stating service isn't active. The form applies the credit once we confirm service is active, and then it knows the full time to adjust for to apply to your billing.

What is the time frame for restoration of internet for Deep Creek area of Punta Gorda post Hurricane Ian? One Xfinity rep on phone said 6 months yesterday. Today one said it would be this evening. There is still an outage. Please tell how we can get specific restoration information. I do not see direct message as an option on the page.

We are all just curious to see if there is any type of credit being considered due to the widespread outages in southwest Florida due to Hurricane Ian. We know your crews are working continuously to get us back up and running. We were down for 12 days and I know others are still down. We weren't sure at this point since this was considered a natural disaster, etc. Thanks in advance for any consideration!
