Service in north Naples Xfinity fiber-served community (Imperial Golf Course Estates) was initially restored the day following Ian, but has been experiencing increasingly longer daily outages (with missed Xfinity restoration estimated times) until now it is down hard with no response from Xfinity. About 1500 customers here who went "all in" with Xfinity fiber a couple years ago... now no response. Probably an easy, single-point fix, too. [Edited: "Language"]?

Customer from the start but the dismal response to Ian and communication is causing folks to go elsewhere. Naples Florida has no internet or TV except for a few minutes each day then another outage, another missed repair deadline and day after day it continues with NO SERVICE

@XfinityChristy​ I don't see a direct messaging icon at the top of the page.  If I go to "Support" there's an "Ask Xfinity" chat option but it's basically just an automated chatbot.  How can I get my name and address to someone to give me an update.  There has been no update from Xfinity since 10/12.  Cape Coral was supposed to be restored by 10/15 and here it is 10/16 and we're still down.

what [Edited: "Language"]... do you [Edited: "Inflammatory"] do to the port charlotte service in the peachland veterans area? had solid service for what seems like an enternity but was actually two days, wake up today and everythings dead. more patronizing from comcast over the phone, unable to connect to an actual human, and "as soon as possible" as their timeline which means absolutely nothing to me.

Hello @CapeSpyder Please forgive our delay. I know how important it is to have services back online asap. Our crews are working in the areas and based on the local website for updates Boca Grande is expected to be back online by the 22nd. I know it's not your area exactly, but it's the closest area that I could find an estimation for. You can check the local site as well and report down lines. Please visit this post from our admin @XfinityJessie for the links to the sites for updates and reporting the downed / damaged lines.

I live in Cape Coral, FL where hurricane Ian just went through. Our cable was snapped off at the house and has been dangling in the yard for two weeks. We are at [Edited: "Personal Information"]. Our neighbors got cable and internet service back days ago, so we tried to call Xfinity. Upon recognizing our phone numbers, the automated system told us the service in the area impacted by the hurricane is being repaired as quickly as possible, and gave no option to speak to an agent. We've used our teens' phones to call in order to speak to an agent. The first agent told us our neighborhood had already been restored, and that our house address should have service. We told him that's not possible because the snapped off cable is still laying in the yard. He was suprised we were checked off as having service and that the techs must not have checked the pole and

cable. He said someone would be out to fix it by Saturday (10/15/22). I found this to be unsatisfactory because there are trucks out everywhere, so we've been back on the phone with your affects at least 4 seperate times, totalling over 5 hours of our time. On one of the calls we were told we could have an appointment for a technician to come in 2-4 weeks to restore our service. I continued to ask for a supervisor for assistance. I was supposed to receive a return call from a supervisor by about 8:11pm Eastern time last night, but no call came, so we called again. This is very frustrating and truly unacceptable! Our house has no service because of an oversight on the part of your techs in the field. I completely understand the exhausted crews making mistakes, but the solution from tech support (in India?) for an appointment weeks from now when we've already been without service for two weeks is unacceptable. I finally got a tech supervisor on the phone last night said he made an internal arrangement (not a formal appointment in your scheduling system) for a tech to be at our house between 8am-10am today. He said he would call at 7:30am and again after 10 am to ensure the repair is complete. There have been no phone calls and no repair. We called back today and the agent said the audio recording was turned off for the phone call with the supervisor last night! We have two disabled people in the home and we have kids and adults who need internet access for school and work. We are feeling marginalized and at the mercy of the monopoly your company has in our area. I am inclined to approach the workers in the Xfinity trucks here myself and beseech them to fix the downed line. Please help!

Still no service, and have had 4 groups of workers in the area who seem to come, look at the cable then leave for the.last week.   The actual cable is laying.across my backyard, and I even cleared it for the workers.  At this point, the cable is starting to interfere with my cleaning efforts.  (Cypress Lakes area)

@user_b39515​ So..my internet was restored, and then they put a new line in and speeds were 1/10-50% of what they were of the old line...that was on the ground.   Cable still.down in the yard, and service is intermittent today, and they won't get a crew here.until tomorrow.....if they show up.   Your support people.have rarely been of.help.

My internet was restored with maybe 1-2% packet loss right after power was turned back on (the very next day). Then about 4-5 days later the crew came through to "fix things".  Now, since last Thursday evening, I have had an average packet loss of 45% consistently.  Doing traceroutes, I see that the packet loss starts at the next hop following my gateway.  I tried to call customer service and got the message, we know there is an outage in your area, but speaking to a technical support rep will not improve the chances of resolution.  I disagree, if I can tell you which node the packet loss begins at, then it WOULD help improve the resolution of the issue for me and my entire neighborhood.  The failing node for my area is 96.120.98.81.  This high packet loss caused me to not be able to work all day Friday since I work from home and was unable to utilize my VPN into the corporate network.

Hello, I am so sorry to hear your still having a service issue since the Hurricane. We are working hard to get service restored fully for all of our valued customers. We understand how important it is to have reliable service and we can now help you troubleshoot the packet loss issue. Can you tell me if you are noticing this issue on all of your devices and is it impacting one website more than another?

During this critical time we don't need more insanely repetitive advice so it's better to say nothing rather than repeat robotic messages. Just saying.

@XfinityJessW​ It is at my edge.  I do ping and traceroute monitoring from my firewall.  I have also run monitored traceroutes from a laptop directly connected to the gateway.  The packet loss starts at the IP provided, which is the first hop following my gateway.  This all started once they put in new coax down my street following the hurricane.  Below is the results of the traceroute.

Traceroute to google.com

I am in the [edit personal information]. We lost our internet, Wi-Fi and cable during Hurricane Ian and I would like to know an approximate date as to when our service will return. I have looked on the Xfinity site and it originally said DeSoto County was predominately restored but now DeSoto County isn’t even on the list. Our power was restored on 10/5 and we haven’t seen any Xfinity trucks anywhere close to our area. I’ve called the customer service number and it gets me nowhere. I understand that Xfinity is working on the bigger areas, but it being out for 18 days with no updates is totally unacceptable.

I can truly understand the aggravations, @user_78a937. Please understand that your power may be restored, however our network may have been damaged or still without power and as soon as the area is safe, we will get you up and running as soon as possible.

While we all including Xfinity techs have had a really bad time of it, in all honesty what upsets most people is the lack of Xfinity CEO, coo, chief of whatever, personal announcements made on TV, radio,etc.explaining in person what is happening at Xfinity. Most people understand when they hear truth vs. nothing or constant outages messages like"we'll get you up and running " is sadly one such message. Many folks don't do social media, but TV works if sporadic and radio.

@XfinityKimberlyB​ Thank you for responding, Kimberly. I appreciate that I received some kind of answer. I do understand that just because we have power, doesn’t mean we’ll have service and that some lines may have been damaged. My frustration is that there has been no updates, explanations or a possible restoration date.

My Internet and TV ARE working; however, my upstairs neighbor's Internet is NOT working.  There seems to be no way to reach customer service.  You can't be reached by phone since Hurricane Ian - - and since my neighbors don't have Internet, they can't send you a message.  So I am trying to reach you (for them) through this forum.  Please respond as to how my neighbors can reach you.

No internet since 9/27.   Unable to contact live person even by email or chat. However xfinity just notified me they successfully withdrew my payment (FOR NO INTERNET?)  How do I talk to someone when I am the power outage in my area???? Unacceptable customer service.

You can also call the 800 number and select that you want your service disconnected.  That will get you to a live human being.
