Service goes down several times a week. I'd like to get more information.

I can't get hold of a person through chat or phone.. its all automated with stock answers. Yes, my internet is down and while I would like to know when its going to be back up, I'd also like to know why it went down.. since it also went down yesterday at the same time. And a week ago at the same time. And the week before that at the same time.

In fact, after being largely stable for a decade, it goes out at least once a week.. sometimes several times a week. Always at the same time of the day.

Its not ok that it goes down this often. Its not ok that I can't get hold of a person. And its not ok that I can't get any more information. Its a clear pattern. What are my options for finding out whats going on?

Thanks,

R

Hi Natalie. 

Thanks for the quick response. I haven't done any troubleshooting. The issue is on the Xfinity side. A few minutes after it goes down, I get a text from Xfinity telling me that it went down and that it will be down for the next 3 hours. Anywhere from 30-90 minutes later, I get a follow-up text telling me my service has been restored earlier than planned.

I understand service will go down from time-to-time but this is happening with regularity and in a pattern. It went down on 5/12, 5/11, 5/3, 4/27, 4/12, 4/11, 3/28, 3/27, 3/13, 3/10, 3/7, 2/24 etc. Always just after lunch, around 1pm, and always for between 30 and 90 minutes. 

I'd like to understand why it keeps going down. If this is a result of some temporary work in the area, then how long should I expect it to continue for? If its another month, I'll deal with it. If its another 6 months or there is an infrastructure issue then I'll need to make alternate arrangements. I can't get anyone on chat or the phone to provide these answers so i'm hoping you can help here.

Thanks,

R
