Service Update

I work from home and I need at least an estimated time of when service is going to be restored so I can make other arrangements for my job. I can't get any info at all on any platform. It would even be helpful to know if it's 2 days etc. Thank you

Hello, user_xk12dy! I am glad that you safely made it through the storm! I work from home as well and understand that can create additional stress when you need to use your service. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and will work around the clock until services are restored. An estimated time of restoration is not currently available.

While we are unable to give you an estimated time when your service will be back on, please know that we're working to restore service as quickly and safely as possible. We coordinate our recovery efforts closely with local and state government and power companies.

The most effective way to get outage updates for your area and information about your Xfinity service is to visit our Status Center or checking the Xfinity app. As more repair work is completed, you will see the message update to show an estimated time or restoral. 

If you see any downed or low hanging lines those can be reported in the Xfinity Assistant by typing hazardous line. Our Comcast Florida Milton page is being updated by the local teams and will continue to provide further information. It also has great information about connecting to an Xfinity WiFi hotspot or signing up for a Natural Disaster Recovery Plan.

I've asked for updates, xfinity said they are not allowed to contact the tech working on our issue. We have power, I followed your lines but haven't seen one truck working on it. I don't live in a flood area. If power is the issue can't you just hook up a generator like you say you are doing in your social media updates? Here our homes aren't flooded or waiting for water to recede. So could we have an update that actually tells us something? We have families and need to  plan accordingly for our kids and jobs.

The problem we are seeing though is Xfinity isn't giving out updates that actually give us information. Nor are they giving us updates daily. My area has been without service since the storm hit, went out way before the bad stuff showed up and the only update we get is asap? That isn't an ETA nor does it state the issue. Maybe if we were given real answers, your phones wouldn't be so tied up from us calling. The company heavily relies on that chat to help its customers and honestly takes the humanity out of the company since a chat bot is incapable of empathy or really understanding your customers. We just need better updates from comcast because the answers we are given do not help us plan our week out for those who work from home.

Hello @user_onmqf2, thank you for taking the time to reach out on social media. Our hearts go out to those affected by Storm Milton, and we hope that they and their loved ones remain safe.

Xfinity is working to get our customers connected as quickly as possible. Please note that flooding may be keeping the local power company, as well as our technicians, from entering the area. The water must recede before anyone can enter the area to begin restoring power (and our network, if needed).

 

You may be offline due to a local power outage. Once any flooding recedes, power companies need to ensure the area is safe before our teams can begin to make repairs. If power to your home has been restored, it may be that the Xfinity network serving the neighborhood does not have power, preventing their Xfinity services from working.

 

We do not have an estimate time to resolution at this time. There are many factors affecting this situation over which we have no control. For service updates, customers can sign up for text alerts using the Xfinity app or go at xfinity.com.

 

For more information on Xfinity’s response and restoration efforts, customers can visit the Florida Region’s blog here https://florida.comcast.com/2024/10/07/milton/.

Don't bother using their messaging service. They literally gave me the info from their media updates and refuse to reach out to a technician to get a real answer on our situations. They said there is no way like the technician doesn't have a cell phone on them? That is a lie cause every time I've had a technician at my house they are on the phone constantly. So why is xfinity refusing to get us real answers?
