Closed

No Internet or Eta since 1/13 Springfield, Oregon 97477

This is starting to get stupid, if you call tech support you get a automated there is a outage in your area and hung up on. I have a huge pile of cables in my yard.. No sign of Comcast anywhere no where to report it or talk to anyone, no etas.. Hands down the wrost customer interaction I have ever had from a company. Comcast is happy to process my billing though, there is that. Here shortly there will be a automated fake bot reply to regerigate the same response they always have. Further more they closed the ticket I put in as resolved.. And they absoutly did not resolve anything (p.s you can't put in tickets now either.)

The service outage is one thing, the absolute and total lack of care for the customers is what has me irked.

Yep, same thing, here in the Thurston neighborhoods. Except there's no visible reason in my neighborhood why there's no internet back yet, all our lines are back up as of last weekend... All the ice melted a week ago and that "we will restore service when it's safe to do so" message is almost insulting at this point.

I got a automated text that said it'd be up by tomorrow but it's clearly a lie, haven't seen even one Xfinity/Comcast truck on this side of 126 since this all started.

They just lie and lie to us while asking us to be patient.

Yeah I don't think my "DM" with them is going to do anything.. I beleive SUB came through and cut all the downed cables because no one else was.. But my internet cables are just a giant whad in my front yard.. And Comcast suposidly knows this and will have it fixed.. It's going to take at least two trucks and some special equipment to restore.. Meanwhile Ziply is over here blasting through installing fiber, so we might have other internet options soon.

@user_6qooh1 Restoring your services is important to us, and our field teams are working hard to ensure all areas are online as soon as possible. The majority of jobs were in a holding status until the field teams were given clearance to begin repairs in affected areas. Commercial power failures, infrastructure damage, and freezing temperatures have impacted our restoration time, but our field team has been on standby to move forward with repairs as soon as possible. We have started to restore services to a large portion of customers impacted, and the upcoming ETAs we are hoping to meet for your to rely on.

"Commercial power failures, infrastructure damage, and freezing temperatures have impacted our restoration time, but our field team has been on standby to move forward with repairs as soon as possible."

This is exactly what I'm talking about... Why would they be on standby still? The storm ended last Wednesday and the ice was gone by last Thursday.  These canned answers are frustrating...

@user_6qooh1 While the weather may be clear at your home, it may not be the same depending on where our equipment is located. The weather also did cause a lot of damage that needs to be repaired first. Primary services like water, sewage, electric, emergency services, etc. take priority over telecommunications in these situations, and we're not allowed to begin repairs until we're given the all-clear, which is why you may not see techs out working in many areas. It may also be why things in your home are back online with utilities, but not for us as what is going on in home isn't always the same for where the node servicing your area is located.

 

We'd be more than happy to review the account with you to confirm the ETA we show on our end and follow up at that time to confirm things are back online if you wish! Just send our team a direct message following the steps previously given in this thread, and we can take a look for you!

@XfinityKatie​... So your competition is out installing new fiber lines over top of the downed Comcast lines..... Not sure conditions are hazardious or the poles are locked down.

Same here been down for the same amount of time on Highbanks rd. Springfield. The faster another provider can offer service the faster I can switch from this joke of company. So ridiculous!

@user_w2705v​ Yep, day 8 of it being totally safe to work, and still haven't seen a crew near High Banks, or even on our side of 126. I'm off 53rd so right by you. If it's not back up today I'm going to Verizon tomorrow to get their 5G internet that runs on wireless network. This response by xfinity is disgusting. And I just heard they're going to bill people in full and deny our outage credits... They haven't provided the service for about two weeks now, that's theft in my opinion! They don't provide the service they shouldn't take out money!!!

@XfinityFrank​ No they are not, you don't know, and are just lying. Canned answers of lies and platitudes. Insulting.

It's been safe to work for a week now. Your company is the only company totally absent from sight for this entire time. All other companies are DONE with repairs, yet here we are still in the dark for no good reason with you folks lying to us.

I live off Highbanks as well and we are about 2 weeks with no TV and internet yet we've had electricity back on for over a week. You can't even get ahold of anyone cause they don't have a good answer to give so I just get that irritating message that they can't come out until it's safe to do so or some BS.

Meanwhile, Comcast posts an article that 98% of customers have their services restored in Oregon and SW Washington as of Thursday and that they planned to have everyone back on by end of Friday, yet here we are Saturday with no progress and no Xfinity vans in sight.

I have called the # provided and can not get ahold of anyone or talk to anyone in person.  I have been out of service since 1/13 also.  The phone bot will not let me speak to someone for a credit, how do I talk to an actual person?

Still without internet since 1/13/2024 in Springfield (97477). The outage map is not accurate and no ETA has been given. Can Comcast provide an update?

I know that our local teams have been working extensively to repair all the damage that was caused earlier this month in your area and that there is still a lot of work to be done. To make sure I am looking at the correct account, may I have your full name and the name of the primary account holder if that is not you?
