NEED UPDATE ON INTERNET

We're still without Internet. Could someone provide an update on when we will have service? This is unacceptable!

user_rxfdi3 Please know that getting everyone back connected is always paramount. As our equipment is coming back online, our techs have to mitigate unknown issues. Right now, our techs are uncovering lots of issues that require turning equipment back off, which causes these style of intermittent connections. I honestly would advise you to not expect much stability on the connection while these problems are being resolved. 

I have personally assisted for many hurricane recoveries in Texas and Florida, so I am only basing these estimates on experience from prior Hurricanes and the obstacles we faced during those. Hurricane Harvey back in 2017 was extremely hard for the power companies, and from what I am seeing, Hurricane Beryl appears to have done far more damage than Hurricane Harvey to the cities' infrastructure. 

 I have many colleagues working in the Houston area to help mitigate these delays, most of them are providing support around the clock to get our valued customers back connected as fast as possible. Nothing about this process is easy, it takes time to bring back these systems online after many of our services nodes being fully submerged in water, damage by debris, and other natural disaster related issues. So please know that we value your business greatly and are working hard to have this wrapped up asap.

Thank you Thomas,

It's frustrating when customers are not able to get a straight answer when contacting Xfinity, so we're forced to come to the forum to receive answers.

Hopefully, we will be up an running so here in Freeport. As many of us who works from home, need our Internet. I can't keep using my cell phone data since I'm over the max for unlimited and it slows down while dropping our Zoom meetings.

Once again, thank you for your response.

user_rxfdi3 to be fully transparent, most of our customers that visit this forum come here first. We are a corporate based team and have extensive expereince and reach for all situations. For more involved situations, like natural disaster recovery, our base level customer service typically would not have the same tenure and experience as our group here does. So when you mentioned you had to resort to us, I hope in the future, you visit us first, 😀👍we are actually pretty awesome here in the forums, not to toot our own horn, haha.

Good Bye Xfinity! Hopefully, you will get your act together and provide better customer service.  Think more about your loyal customers before they leave too. To offer discounts and incentive after a customer leaves is not the way to retain loyal customers. ADIOS!!!
