Internet outage

I just moved to my new place and unfortunately Xfinity is the only internet provider here. They are seriously testing my limits. 

I am currently having an internet outage and was told they will only be able to resolve this in the next 2 hours. I work from home fully and was about to have an important meeting when the internet dropped. This is really unacceptable.

Prior to this, I experienced the fiasco of the incompetent virtual support. I was having trouble getting the modem to work and so contacted virtual support. They sent a technician who didn't know how to fix it as she does not have experience with fibre optics. She told me to contact virtual support to get a technician who has knowledge of fibre optics to come over. I did that but again, the next technician who came did not know how to fix the issue. I was furious at this point because I really need to use the internet soon. The third technician they sent over finally was able to fix the issue. He was great and really helpful. But overall, I was very disappointed in the customer service.

I would happily choose to go with a different internet provider if I could.

user_g2gb99 Thanks for sharing your experience and feedback. I'm terribly sorry about the interruption happening. I work from home too so I totally get the major concern. Interruptions do happen and the timing of them are never good. If the interruption is reported to be fixed in the next two hours, please know our techs are on the case working as fast as they can to fix this up even faster. Please be sure to use the Xfinity app to check on the interruption and sign up for text alerts. 
 
With the multiple tech visits, I also apologize about that, but glad that the issue was finally resolved.
