Ongoing Weekday Outages Are Disruptive and Unacceptable

I’m really disappointed with Xfinity's recurring service outages. For the second time in the past two weeks, my internet has been down all day on a Thursday—from morning until evening—forcing me to cancel important meetings and work from a coffee shop.
This is not acceptable, especially for customers who rely on a stable connection to work remotely. Service upgrades or maintenance should be scheduled during off-hours or over the weekend—not during peak weekday hours—and customers should be notified well in advance.

I hope Xfinity takes this seriously and makes improvements to how and when they conduct maintenance. Reliable service and timely communication are the bare minimum.

Hello, @user_6szwf5. Thank you for taking the time to post on our Community Forum. I know how important it is to have a reliable internet connection when working from home. Having to cancel meetings would frustrate me as well. You have come to the right place for help. Have you checked the Xfinity app or Xfinity website to see if there is any information on the interruption and when it may be ending?

While enhancements are a good thing (and likely happen during business hours because it takes more time than 1 or 2-hour maintenance), I agree with your sentiment, @user_6szwf5. We do our best to provide communications ahead of time when possible, typically via text and/or email. You may also see updates when you log into the Xfinity App. A great place to start is ensuring your communication preferences are up-to-date as seen here. If everything is set up in a way that works best for you, great! We apologize the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while these enhancements take place. Our team is a great resource, so please don't hesitate to share any other questions or concerns you have, and we'll remain here to support you and your household in any way possible :)

The app status update is useless. It just says “within the day” since 8:30 am and it is the evening now.

user_atfae0 The time provided in the app during a service incerruption is an estimate, and can change depending on the severity of the issue our repair team is facing. The app provides the same update any representatvie would be able to give. I assure you our repair teams are working hard on getting this matter resolved.
