Need internet to be restored

Waiting, waiting, waiting. Power was restored on 1/20/24 a little after noon. Still no cable /internet. Worse yet, absolutely zero communication about when it will be restored. Those half a mile from me had internet as soon as power was restored. Fun fact: I have Xfinity mobile and my bill is going to be exorbitant due to this. I also am one who works from home- but can't actually work from home due to this epic service failure. Please provide timelines for restoration as well as restitution for services paid for, but not provided- and free mobile data for this time period as well.

Thanks for reaching out. Services may be out in your area due to a number of reasons, including but not limited to weather, power interruptions or other outside factors. When a service loss is declared in an area, our teams are notified and will work as quickly and safely as possible to ensure everyone is back up and running. We offer convenient self-service options to check service interruptions through My Account, the My Account App, or the Xfinity Status Center at http://www.xfinity.com/support/status. This is where you would get the most up-to-date information including ETAs. This is the same information all representatives have as well. Credits are applied once the service loss in the area is cleared.

 

We recently launched a new option to process a credit yourself for the time spent without service. It's perfect for situations like this. As soon as the services are restored, if you visit comca.st/3s4H9FM and sign in you will be taken to our service center. Scroll to the bottom and you will see an option to check for eligibility for a credit: comca.st/3cS1ec0 You will be asked a few questions regarding the interruption and based on the eligibility a credit will be issued.  A computer generated email regarding the credit will be sent to the email address on file within 24 hours and it will appear online within 72 hours and on your next bill.

Thanks Krista! Excluding power outages, my Xfinity services have been out January 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and was spotty (aka cut out during work hours and was on and off) on 25, 26, 27, 28 and today. As you can see, I had service on January 19 and 29 (two days of 18). When I attempt to fill out the form, it gives me an error message stating "Please select a date within 7 days of the start date."  I am owed $98 plus an additional $33 in data cahrges on my cell phone. As you can imagine, it's important to stay up to date on weather and news. To reiterate, I had power on all of the dates listed above- so it wasn't a power issue. Please let me know when I can expect a refund. Thanks!

@user_ajbo29 Because active devices in our network can sometimes be miles from your home, you can absolutely have power while part of our network servicing you does not. If you are a part of the Pacific Northwest storms (Oregon and Washington), proactive credits are being applied to eligible customers once the issues in that specific area are resolved.

Thanks! I am part of the PNW storm. The issue has been resolved I haven't seen a credit yet. When should I expect to see that?

@user_ajbo29 the credits are being applied to the eligible accounts automatically through our system. I would expect you would see any credits on your next monthly billing statement if your account is eligible. You can also continue to check your account on the Xfinity app for any updated credits! We appreciate you reaching out!
