Outage Augusta Ga
Finally got through to a human on the phone. He was very nice but was unable to tell me anything of value. There is no information in the system as to why the outage is happening or when it will be back up. The lack of communication from Xfinity field teams to customer service is apparent and an obvious issue that I don't believe will be resolved as Xfinity has shown it does not care. I have seen Xfinity utility trucks in my area however the 3 times I have seen them they were sitting in empty parking lots with no personnel. [Edited: "Solicitation"]I predict this post will either be deleted or a "representative" will respond on here and give me the same generic copy and paste response that they have been giving to everyone else, "check the outage map" " we are working hard to fix it" "dm us directly so we can look into your account".

I also live in Augusta and I had the same experience yesterday while trying to contact customer service. They refuse to speak to you about the situation and if they do it’s a bot or someone who has zero information. I am most definitely switching providers. All they say is “check the outage map” or “DM me here”. I’ve been with Xfinity for a long time and I can say this is the worst customer service they have ever displayed.

There needs to at least be a public announcement on news or radio. Social media. The silence from Xfinity for 2 full weeks is deafening. WoW or starlink is looking really good about now.

I'm trying to figure out an accurate estimate for my internet. It's been changed so much and now all I get is "As soon as possible." Any eta is better than what I'm currently getting. Also it say network damage am I just waiting for you guys to replace parts or something. I'm in the dark here. The neighborhood near me has internet, am I getting it soon?

Hi. I live in Augusta, Georgia as well.
I have the same situation with my internet. Customer service is AI level. Not personal.
It's not just sad that I can't access all the devices at home.
It's so sad to see how other companies offer quick solutions to customers.
Yayyy for them!

Not real sure how to get a "real" estimated time of service restoration. North Augusta has damage, but other providers are able to get their services online. Not sure how if the lines are all up in the area, then why isn't Xfinity. The service came up for a day almost 2 weeks ago, but then went back out due to a line being cut by the power company (so we were told). How long does it take to repair that line? My new concern is, are the technicians being routed to Florida? If this keeps up much longer, we will too have to find a new service provider.

Right there with you guys. I'm enrolled in text messages. Between the app and texts, I have been given estimations for the 19th, 5th, 19th, 14th, 12th, and finally the 13th, with today being the 12th and it being pushed back this morning.
I was told service has been restored by the automated chat earlier this week, which was true for all my neighbors according to the outage map, but not for me. Either the job wasn't done properly or there was some issue that wasn't communicated to me. I just wish I could get a straight answer without having to post on this forum to trigger some sort of "Customer Service Damage Control" response from the poor employees tasked with replying to every frustrated and confused person.

WoW website has a specific announcement updated every few days. Last one was Friday. This is just basic human courtesy. Because of that elementary empathy, I'll be switching to them next month. Even if there service is down too. Xfinity is just automated frustration for last 15 years. Finally talk to human and they are in India and have never even heard of hurricane Helene. Ridiculous.

Now the date has been pushed to the 24th of October. You also can’t get your dates right on your updates on the restoration timeline page. Goodbye, work-from-home job that I desperately needed.

I live in Martinex. I got the same runaround. No contact whatsoever from the company. I don't understand how Georgia Power can restore pretty much everyone's power but it's now on the third week with no cable service! Yet I see on my bill an bill for the entire month. How can you charge someone for no service. Worst customer service ever!

Notice the scrolling banner on this web site has already moved onto to Milton. We should remind Comcast they have thousands of outages in the Augusta and North Augusta area. Have all the repair teams have gone Florida. Platitudes if we have thousands of techs working the problem is not a plan. What are the realistic dates that comcast can hit. The roads are safe enough for ATT so what aren’t they safe enough for comcast. My guess is the market is just not as important as the Florida so resource are there and not here.

Just got through to someone that sounded like she she is state side. She said October 19th by 9pm. Unable to say what the issue is or anything else. Call this number 1-800-934-6489 and ask for a "change of service" it'll get you through to someone that actually speaks English. WoW has services up and running.

How can you restore the entire CSRA on 19 Oct? What you meant to say is that you won’t start working on restoring until the 19th which means most of us will be without service for a month or longer and you are only giving out $9 - $20 one time credits. Today was the first day I saw a Comcast truck on the road since the hurricane. Can you not bring in crews from other areas to help get us back online? And let’s talk about not even being able to talk to someone to contest my bill. I haven’t seen an updated outage map by road. All that is posted is the same map from 27 September. I love how I have to read the same canned responses above just to find out you slipped the date to the 24th now. My area of North Augusta has had power and been safe for two weeks. Where were your crews? Did they bring services back to the North Augusta Country and Sage Valley Golf Country Club first?
