Public WiFi hotspot not working

How do I report a public WiFi hotspot that has been down for a while? It still shows on the map as available. It also shows up under available WiFi networks on my device but won’t allow me to connect.

Thanks for reaching out to us, the public Wi-Fi spots are controlled by Xfinity customers modems. So depending on that modem the customer could turn off their public Wi-Fi hotspot. Also depending on how close you are to that Wi-Fi hotspot will warrant if you have access,  but the ultimate control of the public Wi-Fi comes from the customers modem that they have the access to turn them on and off.
