Internet Outage

I live in Kent, WA and I’ve been without cable/internet all day. This is the third time this week. It was down all day on 10/22 and no explanation was given and we of course couldn’t get ahold of anyone. Then it was down again on 10/23 for a few hours for “scheduled maintenance.” I was hoping the outages were behind me, but I once again woke up today to no internet and the restoration time keeps changing - from 1040 am to 130 pm to 11 pm. This is absolutely ridiculous. Why does it take so long to fix these issues and why do these issues keep happening? I work from home and this is impacting my ability to do my job.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

user_e9i4p5 service disruptions can be quite the damper on an otherwise fun field weekend, so we absolutely want to ensure we get you back up and running as quickly as we can. The best way to stay up to date for disruptions in your area would actually be through a nifty tool known as the Status Center, available to all Xfinity customers. You can access it using the URL embedded in this hyperlink

I will say that restoration times can very, and are only presented as estimates for that very reason. The issue can appear to be one thing, but end up requiring more work after further testing and evaluation. Similar to a customer troubleshooting their own equipment, troubleshooting would need to be done to address the overall area service just to a much larger degree and this can take time to resolve. I do understand how that can impact your ability to work from home, and I can assure you that we can get an adjustment in place for the time you are without service. We can also look into potential workaround options, as in some cases customers that experience an interruption to their home service can sometimes still access Xfinity hotspots as an alternative. Here you can find a map of the hotspots nearest you.

This response didn’t answer my question. This is the 3rd time this week that the internet is down, and 2 of those 3 times the internet was down all day. Why does this keep happening? What is causing the issue and what are you doing to fix it on a long-term basis?

Someone vandalized something to make the internet go out. I’m wondering what and why. I have a hotspot so not too annoying but annoying enough that I’m using my data.

Any idea when this will be fixed? It’s very annoying because it’s been all week and then today it’s been all day since 5am.

First they said 2PM and now it’s 12AM. They have to stop traffic to fix it, so I am thinking tomorrow late afternoon. 😡

Well it says hopefully restored by 12:05am so I hope internet is back up around that time

Don't hold your breath. They've been changing it all day long so that estimate is a moving target.

The advice given by the "Official Employees" doesn't help. If there's no internet/wi-fi, there's no way for most of us to use the link provided nor the app without leaving home and going to an area outside of the outage area. I have T-Mobile also and had no service for nearly as long as the over 24 hrs Xfinity outage.

Still don’t have internet. Telling us that you are working quickly to get this fixed is [Edited: "Language"]. It’s been down for over 24 hours and you still haven’t provided a reasonable explanation for this outage.

user_e9i4p5 There is an issue with the node in the area that broadcasts signals to homes in the area. Our Maintenance Team is working to restore services as quickly as they can. Please continue to use the Xfinity Status Center to check for updates. That is the first place the Estimated Time of Restoration will be posted when it becomes available. Also, the time is subject to change as they work towards a resolution. We hope to have you up and running soon.
