Outage in Houston

Hello, we had our power restored on Sunday and have not yet had internet service restored. On Tuesday night I called the 1800 number and got an ETA of 9:20PM that night but we still do not have internet service (calling now only gives the ETA as "as soon as possible").

Would it be possible to let me know when internet service is expected to be restored? Or at least what is causing the delay?

Thank you.

We had internet and cable all day Monday thru the hurricane and into the night. Then wake up Tuesday and no internet or cable. That’s weird. Still nothing and it is Saturday.

Hi there @user_mqrhmu. I am sorry to hear that you have not had services since Sunday. You are in the right place and we are happy to assist you today. Right now the latest update is from July 12, 2024, 7 p.m. SERVICE RESTORATION UPDATE: Xfinity and Comcast Business service restoration will continue throughout the weekend, as our crews work around the clock to get customers back online. Power outages account for most of the internet service interruptions. You may know your home needs power for the internet to work, but there are many other points in the network that are also power dependent. You can find updates by the local team by going to Comcast Texas

 

Not only that, but you can also take advantage of our Xfinity Wifi Hotspots. Comcast has opened all operational Xfinity WiFi hotspots in the Houston area, free of charge, to all residents. To find the nearest Xfinity WiFi hotspot click here, enter your zip code and zoom in to your street level to see the available WiFi hotspots.

I am in the Houston, Tx area and my service has been down for about 3 days now. I get the same thing in response to when xfinity is supposed to send out technicians to fix our neighborhood’s internet service ….“as soon as possible”. I called in to xfinity and the representatives all tell me the outage is due to severe weather conditions but strangely right after the storm I never had any disconnection problems. it’s been a week since the actual storm hit Houston and our power was restored 2 days after it hit, so it’s been about a week and some change since the storm actually hit. Our internet was working fine after the storm for about 4 or 5 days and then all of a sudden it went out without warning. There was no storm or any following weather conditions as to why this could have occurred but strangely the reason they give for our xfinity service has went out is deem due to severe weather conditions. Since the storm it’s been clear skies and sunny days. Oddly enough they aren’t sending out technicians until it’s been deemed safe, but it gets no safer. I work remote and am also a business owner that uses xfinity to manage projects, this has been a major inconvenience. My heart goes out to the people who live paycheck to paycheck. They are telling people anything I feel because earlier today I received a text telling me my service was restored but upon me checking nothing was changed in my service status. On the other hand I’ve been escalated this to other departments when I call in and these technicians told me they have sent out field technicians and my internet should be fixed by 8:30pm July 15th 2024, but they have yet to do so and it’s 11:33pm. I have been promised things that they have not stood up to and this makes no sense to blame this on a storm that happened a week ago. I’m thinking of making a change in internet service providers due to the unsatisfactory service and attempts to rectify this circumstance.

I keep seeing mention of these hot spots, but there isn't one close enough to my home......... this is not a solution for the 11 days I have been without service. I have not been able to speak to anyone from Xfinity, nor has any communication been sent out to give us an idea of what is happening and how much longer this will take. Keeping people informed goes a long way in customer service. I am beyond frustrated!!!!!!!

They barely work anyway.  I'm connected to a hotspot and it's less than 1mb download and disconnects frequently.

Worst service ever. I’m a premium customer for nothing. Just to pay more for poor service. 
I have internet, tv and security services with xfinity. Cannot get a straight answer on the cause or ETA for resolution. 
Not acceptable when a technician came and did not know what the issue was with the area or neighborhood. 
Definitely time to move on to another company. 
Xfinity you should be ready to credit your fees for all this time since 7.08 and ongoing.
