Outage in Houston and no one has come to fix

So we had bad storms last Thursday, 5/16. Since then, my lights have been restored, trees have been cleared, even my roof has been fixed. But hmmm, still no internet! I have not seen any xfinity technicians in the area working on our internet box that was damaged. This is quite concerning as the whole city has recovered quite a bit, but our internet has not been back. And I can't even get through to an agent to get an update.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Thank you. While I appreciate the response, it would be great to get some sort of an ETA. My service area has had power restored since Saturday, the streets are drivable, trash pickup, mail, packages, everything is back. Just internet is not, so that's the concern. If there is a way to send a technician today, that would be great!

We can take a look to see if all the work required by our line technicians is clear and then schedule a tech for your residence, although I cannot promise it will be today.

An Xfinity technician did indeed come by yesterday and helped revive the internet. My neighbors and I are sincerely grateful for the response! Thank you and have a great week.

Hi @XfinityThomasC and @XfinityAmira , I am still without internet today in Houston’s 77003 area. However, my next door neighbor and across the street neighbor both have Xfinity and their service is working. Why is mine siloed out as a power outage?

@XfinityRay​ I too have also been without internet since 5/16 here in Houston, Tx. I received a text message on Wednesday, 5/22 that our internet has been restored and it has not. We tried restarting our modem and it was still not working. I have tried to get a hold of someone but all I get is a machine saying there is an outage. I need the internet to work and complete school work so this is getting frustrating after more than a week without it.

Hello user_adlewp we're so sorry to hear that you are without services following Hurricane Beryl. This usually occurs when network equipment that services your neighborhood is damaged due to heavy rains/wind.  We have set up Xfinity Hotspots in affected areas, and you can receive the latest updates and information via our sites below.

I reside on Kendalls Path Court in the 77053 zip code area. It has been more than eight days since my power was restored last week, but I still do not have internet service in my area. I am unable to contact customer service, and I am experiencing significant difficulties as I work from home and rely on a stable internet connection to perform my job effectively. What a mess.

I lost power on 7/6, 2 days before a storm hit Houston. My power was restored less than 24 hours after the storm. Today makes 13 days without internet service. This is extremely ridiculous. I have filled a formal complaint with the FCC and no one has yet contacted me. I need to speak to the CEO or someone higher in this company. I am on the verge of loosing my job because of this issue.

@user_w9bdbk We definitely wouldn't want you to lose your job. This is one of the many reasons we've activated hotspot signals in these affected areas. Have you by any chance tried connecting to one of these hotspot signals? To find your nearest hotspot, go to xfinity.com/wifi and enter your zip code. Once you are at the location, follow the instructions at xfinity.com/wifi to join the hotspot.

 

Our maintenance teams are out there doing everything they can to restore your service as quickly as possible. The app is your best resource to obtain the latest update on the service interruption in your area.

I have been without my service for days and have a work from home job. This is highly frustrating as there is no ETA. When I call xfinity it’s an automated message and looking online is zero help. Can someone please have an ETA? It says our internet is out due to severe weather but it’s been sunny all week and this has been after the storm. It’s supposed to rain all week and this is concerning as I’m not sure when the internet will be back on and I have to work.

I have been without internet since Hurricane Beryl. This is really affecting my ability to work from home.  I  don't understand how everyone around me has internet service but I don't.

Hey @user_oo0unr, Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience regarding the Xfinity services. I would be more than happy to offer my assistance looking into this further for you.

 

Do you happen to have our handy Xfinity App downloaded and installed on your mobile device? I would check the Xfinity App to see if there is still a service interruption showing. If there is a service interruption, we would need to wait for the service interruption to conclude.

user_ngwjef I have personally assisted for many hurricane recoveries in Texas and Florida, so I am only basing these estimates on experience from prior Hurricanes and the obstacles we faced during those. Hurricane Harvey back in 2017 was extremely hard for the power companies, and from what I am seeing, Hurricane Beryl appears to have done far more damage than Hurricane Harvey to the cities' infrastructure. 

 I have many colleagues working in the Houston area to help mitigate these delays, most of them are providing support around the clock to get our valued customers back connected as fast as possible. Nothing about this process is easy, it takes time to bring back these systems online after many of our services nodes being fully submerged in water, damage by debris, and other natural disaster related issues. So please know that we value your business greatly and are working hard to have this wrapped up asap.

Right now, our techs are uncovering lots of issues that require turning equipment back off that was close to being resolved, this causes lots of intermittent connection hiccups. I honestly would advise you to not expect much stability or progress on the connection for a bit while these problems are being resolved. Our head end systems that distribute the signal to the neighborhoods did also take some extensive damage from this natural disaster.
