Lake Villa IL outage since June 25th

I live near lake villa and xfinity has been doing "upgrades starting at 6am" which will be complete "within today" for 3 WEEKS everyday now since June 25th. Now my internet is down for almost 2 hours. How am I suppose to get any work done? Will Xfinity credit me 3 weeks worth of salary for this incredibly inconsistent internet service? Should I request PTO until you finish this 3 week long upgrade?? Why cant you provide a better time frame as opposed to, for 3 weeks, call it "upgrading service... done within today" almost every day since June 25th???

You even lock out every customer from human to human communication for any help during outages which is ridiculous when the outage lasts for 3 weeks. You can't even request an outage credit for longer than 7 day period. What are we doing here guys?

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

We greatly appreciate your feedback, aer-wubby. No one likes a service interruption including us. If one or more of your Xfinity services isn’t working, you can check to see if a service interruption has been reported in your area in a few different ways, including the Xfinity app and Status Center. 

If you were affected by a recent service interruption, you may be eligible for a credit to your account. To get started, check your eligibility for a credit on the interruption credit request page. If your account meets all requirements for eligibility, including not having reached the maximum credit limit, a credit will be applied automatically.

Check to see if you are eligible for a credit from a recent interruption:

Navigate to the Status Center.
Scroll down to the Tips in case of an interruption section.

Click the Check Eligibility link.

I am aware of the outage. It's been 3 weeks since xfinity started doing "upgrades"

3 hours with no internet now. 

Credit request for outage is broken, the website shows an error most of the time. When it works, you can only choose up to 7 days. It has been 24 days now of random downtimes due to some upgrading thats, again, has taken xfinity 24 days now and still no completion!

5 hours internet is still down. Should I call into work tomorrow?? Still says it's down due to upgrading service. Xfinity has been upgrading service since June 25th. Seems 2 steps forward and 5 steps back if the internet is down for 5 hours now. Who can I contact to get better updates and detaila instead of being told "your service has an outage sorry we can't help" ?

Hi there, @aer-wubby Thank you for your time and patience. I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience the service interruption is causing you. As a person that works from home, I definitely understand your concerns regarding needing to know if you need to call into work tomorrow. I can look further into this if you can please send me a DM with your full first and last name along with your full service address so that I can assist you further.-Richard
