Service upgrade outages

Xfinity has been engaged in scheduled service outages going into a second week in Barnstable, MA. The text message I receive each day prior to the outage is… “We've started work to enhance the network in your neighborhood. Our teams are working as efficiently as possible to finish within the day. You'll experience service outages at  XXXXX during this time and we'll text you when work is complete.”

The internet then goes down shortly after for most of the day. Everyone in the household works from home for employers that expect us to log in for work. We absolutely can’t have our connection interrupted for an undetermined amount of time! Why does xfinity say this will be resolved in a day when it has been going on into what will now be a second week? This is not a natural disaster. It is scheduled. Schedule the work for weekends or nighttime, not during business  hours, please!
