Service Outage – Formal Complaint & Demand for Compensation

Hello,

This message serves as a formal complaint and demand for compensation regarding a significant outage of my Xfinity internet service.

On April 14, 2026, my internet service was unavailable from approximately 11:00 AM until close to midnight. This prolonged outage caused serious financial loss and safety concerns.

I am a licensed professional who conducts telehealth sessions, and as a direct result:

- I lost income due to missed client sessions
- Clients refused phone sessions, resulting in unrecoverable financial loss
- I incurred gas expenses attempting to find alternative locations to work
- I had to rely on mobile data, increasing my expenses
- My home security system (ADT) could not be armed overnight, creating a safety risk

This was not a minor inconvenience. This outage directly impacted my livelihood and safety.

I am formally requesting:
1. A full one-month credit for my internet service
2. Additional compensation review for financial loss and incurred expenses
3. Written confirmation of steps being taken to prevent outages of this magnitude in the future

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I am prepared to escalate this issue to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and other consumer protection agencies.

I expect a response within 3 business days.

Sincerely,
[Edit: Name removed]

Thank you for reaching out and creating a new post. I know service interruptions can be frustrating, and they can have a real impact in many ways, as you listed above. I understand this also affected your daily operations at work, and as someone who works from home, I know how hard that can be. Providing an adjustment for financial loss, loss of wages, or expenses outside of monthly recurring charges is not something we can do. We can, however, provide an adjustment on your services, which you can request here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/account-management/credits/outage/details. The adjustment would cover the day service was affected, but we wouldn't credit a full month of service in these cases to be completely upfront. 

We do our best to alert customers of unplanned and planned maintenance, but we do have situations where network issues may arise unexpectedly. When they do, our techs work as quickly as they can to restore services, but I honestly can't say there is a definitive way to stop network interruptions 100%. To keep you online, we recommend options like the millions of Hotspots nationwide or back-up options like Xfinity Pro, which can keep you online with an LTE backup.
