Outage Refund

I was out of internet last night from 7pm to 9pm. This marks the third internet outage this month. No bad weather. Xfinity had a prompt that said we know about the issue and are working to solve the problem and estimated it would be down till 10pm.

As this is the 3rd time this month, I would like a credit or a refund for the downed internet time.

Mine is down as well but says there’s nothing wrong in the outage map. Already restarted equipment twice.

@user_fqopmh​ Thankfully it went back up inside an hour this time. 

The link from ThomasB's post above is sadly not helpful. Just takes you to a date entry field that spits out, "Sorry, we didn't find any eligible outages during that time-frame."

Weather-related outages don't count. Though I'm not sure how to verify if it was indeed a weather-related outage as the weather's been clear and fine the past few days here in Colorado, so I guess you're just supposed to trust that you don't deserve a refund by the guys who stand to profit from not giving you one. Makes sense to me!

People are not encouraged to seek an outage refund because you intentionally make it so darn difficult.
