OUTAGE AGAIN

After hurricane Helene in Augusta GA I suddenly had Internet on Wednesday 10/2 and Thurs 10/3. Then it was out again on Friday 10/4 saying it's under investigation. There's been no update since then. I work from home and already had to miss four days until it returned on 10/2, but now I have yet again missed four more days of work because of not having internet. My work is claiming this outage isn't even due to the hurricane Bec I had internet on 10/2 and 10/3. When will this be fixed?? Are you going to reimburse me for the missed work since this is Comcast fault?? Is this outage still from the hurricane? If so why does it say network damage in app?

Hello @Batmann_Babee, thank you for taking the time to reach out on social media. 

We’re tracking the effects of Storm Helene so we can best support you. Any impact to your Xfinity service could be the result of a local power outage and/or damage to our network. As always, we’ll work as quickly as possible to restore service, but local power companies need to ensure the area is safe before our teams can begin to make repairs. Here's a link with more information https://florida.comcast.com/2024/09/24/helene/.

 

As a customer myself I am very cautious with my budget and completely understand you wanting to know exactly what to expect. Service interruption credits are calculated based on the time period you are without service, and rounded up to the next day (e.g., an outage lasting six hours = one day of credit; an outage lasting 28 hours = two days of credit). When the credit is applied, 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 as well as on your next bill.

 

We recently launched a new option to process a credit yourself for the time spent without service. It's perfect for situations like this. 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.

The link you provided is information for FL not for GA. This is further not being helpful.

I will absolutely request a credit but I cannot even do that until my service is restored. I need accurate information for the Augusta GA area. Not for Florida.

& I would love to know how I had connection for TWO DAYS and then it's been out again for now five days and says network damage. What happened? Why does it still say under investigation and hasn't changed for five days?? I'm not even receiving text updates like I'm supposed to!!

You are very close to losing a(nother) customer because of the lack of GOOD communication during this outage. I don’t want to see “asap” on my repair timeline. That could mean an hour or a year!

I could be enjoying internet service through my local co-op or Starlink within a day or two. Tell me you don’t care about my business without saying you don’t care about my business! ASAP!

How did I have Internet for two days just to lose it and now it shows network damage? My job is now AT RISK because of this service interruption and they're claiming this issue isn't even hurricane related. So what's actually causing this outage? What's the estimated time it'll be fixed? Yeah a small account credit is great but that's not replacing my lost income from not having internet and being unable to work.

Xfinity just does not CARE AT ALL!!! AT&T & other providers are all back up! Xfinity had no problem collecting that bill. The worst part is they dont tell you anything nor can you get through to a live person!!! Call AT&T & then call Xfinity then you see who actually cares!!! Xfinity will loose millions in cancelled service because of how they handled this outage!!!! LAST STRAW!!

Ive had power back since last week and even had Internet from y'all for TWO DAYS yet it's our AGAIN.. so it's not the power companies fault?? You guys are still dodging our actual questions. Even when I spoke to a representative it was dodging questions and not actually helping me. The app hasn't changed or provided any updates and I'm STILL NOT getting the texts from you guys. This is RIDICULOUS.

Thanks for your comment, user_2khq0d. I'm sorry to hear your service has been down for so long. This is now the experience we would like you to have, and I'd like to help get to the bottom of this. Are you currently seeing any interruption notifications on the Xfinity App or Support Center Page

My wifi been out since 9-27 my power been on since 9-30. Why hasn’t the wifi been fixed yet? Almost every single other wifi company is up and running except xfinity. A lot of people work online (me included) and this is really stressful for us as our job is on the line. Please fix this.

My wifi is out AGAIN! I'm sooooooooooooo sick of xfinity and I'm tired of paying for service that keeps getting disconnected. Hurricane Helene is over so there are no excuses on why this isn’t resolved! Don't count on getting a credit for lost wifi bc they clearly state that storms are ineligible. I'd rather go back to WOW,at least they're up and running.

Hi there, user_xko5x7! I apologize that your service is offline. I understand that is frustrating to get through, especially after the recent hurricane. Do you have the Xfinity app? From the app you can easily get updates about your service and set up text alerts. The app is updated by the local technicians as work is completed.

The copy/paste replies from Xfinity are not doing anyone any good.  Even before Helene the customer service has been unbelievably unreliable.  I'm a new customer as of September and about to be an old customer. Give us a solid update please.

Xfinity keeps tossing out estimates on when service will be restored here in Augusta and now it’s just saying “as soon as possible.” It’s been almost two weeks now and it’s been restored in Grovetown where my dad is for almost a week. Expecting people to pay for service that they never had is ridiculous and unacceptable, especially when people have lost power for a week or longer.

user_r8hjq7 I know it can be frustrating when an update changes for when we expect service to be repaired, and our team is working hard to get them back up for you as soon as possible. We also want to make sure your account is adjusted for the time without service. Should your credit request be denied for any reason after requesting it when service is restored, we will be happy to do it manually for you if needed.

I don’t believe anything about “working hard” because clearly you’ve decided to wipe your hands clean for the thousands of people who still don’t have Internet access so you can make a repeat performance for Milton.

I apologize that you are feeling that way, user_r8hjq7! Our teams are working around the clock, all hands on deck to get everyone back up and running as quickly as possible. You can see more about the ongoing work at our Comcast South page. The Augusta area restoration timeline can be found here

This is ridiculous! The fact that you are not telling us exactly what happened to our service, other than you are working on it.

@user_fb097h 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 Xfinity 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. Once fully resolved, there is a way to request a credit online, and we will check to see if you are eligible! Visit the link: https://www.xfinity.com/support/account-management/credits/outage/details?client_id=helpandsupport&continue=https://www.xfinity.com/support/status&linkId=149261291.

Here in Florida no better. Have had electricity throughout storm. Xfinity failed after storm past. Best part is they no longer accept calls from us paying customers and the chat line give you an immediate too busy to chat with you response. [Edited: "Inflammatory"] not providing services

I agree with that post we had Internet for two days  we've had our power back for almost a week and  now the Wi-Fi is gone and has been for the last 5 days and I get a 5 dollar credit? [Edited: "Language"] is that?  This is ridiculous every single person I know that has Wi-Fi through a different provider all has theirs  what is going on. Cause even the outage thing says  today's date by 7:48 pm and then at that time it goes back to as soon as possible  you have no problem collecting your money or threatening to disconnect if we don't pay but you can't give us what we're even paying for

Going on day 5 with no internet in Vero beach FL. Everyone else seems to have theirs back on. My family who lives 5 mins down the road had their Xfinity restored 2 days ago. The rest of the town with other providers has had minimal service interruptions. Your outage map is [Edited: "Language"]
and tells me nothing. It says the same thing every time - no ETA. I’ve not been receiving any status texts either. Can’t even speak to a human being. What is going on? When will this be fixed?
