Portland area outage: no information
We have had an outage for going on 3 days. I have requested updates, I have not received anything. I get a standard response online: we are working on fixing it as soon as possible. Affecting 1-50 people. I have tried speaking with someone and the system refuses, saying nobody can help me. Check the status center. The status isn’t changing. I need more information. For example: how many people are working on this? How severe is the issue? Is this a: few days issue, a week issue? Longer? My job depends on this. There needs to be some transparency in what is happening after the outage has been going on for 3 days now. How can we get some clarification?

Our service was restored this afternoon. Yay.
However, STILL no notification (as requested when we reported the outage) from Comcast that they did their job.

Cannot send a private message, where can we find service updates about when the internet is expected to come back online so that I can at least communicate with my job when I will be able to work again. This is infuriating

You can check the status of service interruptions as well as your connection status either on the Xfinity My Account app or at https://comca.st/2OQeeXp.

Response:
We definitely want to provide you with all of the information we have available on the service interruption you and your neighbors are experiencing. I do see the initial issues were caused from a power issue/transformer, and the initial resolve date was 2/20; However, due to the weather in the area, the local team has marked the repair order as priority and is actively assigned to a team, but updated the estimated resolution time as unknown at this time. The node in your area is down and I know the frustration this must be causing, especially not having a definitive answer on when everything will be up and running again properly. I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience.

What does this explanation of why you don't have service have to do with "better deals if asked"? Unless you requested, without being asked, information about deals from a specific OE.

if I had received the response you quoted I would not be upset. But no matter to whom I respond and even when I provide specific information, all I get is the BOT response which no additional information. Also there is NO reason why Comcast can't publish on their website a map showing the extent of the outage. For reference, look at what PGE does for their customers.

Is there no new information about the outage in the Lake Oswego area, 4 days with no real updates is not a great look. My wife and I both rely on the internet for work and not having any idea of when this might be resovled is not alright.

Like many others on forum, I work from home and cannot do that currently. All I want are status updates and honesty about the timeline for repair even if it’s bad news. Agree w other posters that I shouldn’t have to rely on TV and print news organizations to provide information about the outage. Century Link may be the company benefitting the most from Comcast’s poor response to this event.

Hi.
FWIW, My service was restored yesterday. Since that event and as of right now, I have NOT recieved any notification via text or e-mail that this happened.
Will I get a credit for the 3 days of NO service (TV, phone, internet)? How do I request this?

The customer service is non-existent. The “chat” is completely useless - same message everyone else receives. Why do we need to send a direct message - why can’t someone respond in this forum?
While I am certainly happy to have power, and realize this storm was significant, no repair and no estimate is very frustrating.
When will service be restored? Is everyone affected receiving credits for lost service?
