No Service Updates and No changes on Outage Information
Beech Island, SC resident
we got power back after it being down for a week from Helene.
There are WiFi Hotspots available all around my area but not a single one within a mile of my entire neighborhood.
the outage map shows an outage 500-2000 people affected yet it’s been that way for 5 days and powers been nearly fully restored in the entire area.
Can we please get an update as to why there is nothing being done for those without internet?
there’s no standing water there no power lines down. Why are there not technicians working on our Internet?

Same here. All my friends have internet back up, except one who also has Xfinity. All of them have either Carolina breezline or AT&T. I have still not seen one single Xfinity vehicle anywhere! Totally missing in action. Zero help from customer support. So ridiculous.

@user_80u095 I appreciate you taking the time to post on our Community Forums and am sorry to hear that you've been without your services for so long. I completely understand the frustration and really appreciate your patience during this difficult time. Once service is restored, we can make sure your account is credited for the time without service so you are not paying for days without use.
Our technicians are working in impacted areas to restore service as quickly as they can, though there are things that can cause delays. Residential power is restored first as a priority, so our facility for the area would not restore power at the same time. Our technicians also have to work with local utilities to have damaged poles and lines replaced, and testing completed to make sure the signal is fully restored. I would recommend checking the Xfinity app/website for ETAs as they become available. Our team receive the same information and ETAs that show on the app/website, but our techs are working to bring services back online.

It's beyond unfortunate that many of us lost income being out of work due to the power outage and those of us that work from home and rely on our internet are still unable to work. Power has been restored and we still do not have internet service in our area. Reliable status updates are a reasonable request.

We have seen 0 xfinity trucks working anywhere on any lines since the power trucks got our power turned on over a week ago. All the xfinity trucks did was follow the power trucks. The outage map hasn’t been updated since 27 September. When can we expect to get our services restored? I would like a date and time and not some AI generated message on repeat that is telling me nothing. BTW - 96% of the power has been restored to the entire county yet xfinity is the only internet and service provider who has not restored their services.
