xfinity agent about outage

Can i reach a live agent please? Our internet has been down now OVER 24 hours and no eta nothing. No one to talk to at XFINITY, no real updates. At first said 5pm, then 10pm, then as soon as possible, then nothing. This is ridiculous.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

No one at Xfinity will speak to anyone when there is an outage. Internet down since early yesterday, now NO ETA is provided. None. At first it said network issue on your side, not a down power line or specifics. We have no idea when service will be restored. I am unclear how your company won't allow customers to speak with someone or provide more meaningful updates?

Hi there. We can certainly understand your frustration, especially when the interruption has been ongoing for more than a day and the estimated restoration time has been removed.

 

When a restoration estimate disappears, it typically means our repair teams are still actively working to identify or resolve the issue and no longer have enough information to provide an accurate timeframe. While we know that's not ideal, we'd rather provide no ETA than one that ends up being inaccurate.

 

As for the lack of specific details, the interruption notifications generally provide limited information because the underlying cause can change as technicians investigate. In some cases, what initially appears to be a network issue may ultimately be traced to damaged equipment, power-related problems, fiber damage, or another issue that requires additional repair work.

 

We absolutely understand the desire to speak with someone directly and receive more meaningful updates. Unfortunately, our frontline teams have access to the same interruption information that is provided through the app and automated systems, so they often cannot provide additional details until updates are received from the repair teams.

 

We know that doesn't make the situation any less frustrating, and we sincerely apologize for the disruption. We appreciate your patience while the teams continue working to restore service as quickly as possible.

Hi there. We definitely haven't forgotten about you, and we understand how frustrating it is to be without service for this long with limited information available.

 

At this time, the interruption remains open, and our repair teams are continuing to work toward a resolution. Unfortunately, we still do not have any additional details or a restoration estimate to share. We know that's not the update you were hoping for, but we want to be transparent about what we're seeing.

Yesterday you posted the outage to be resolved by 5pm, that changed to 10:10pm, then NO ETA is available. This doesn't sit very well with me. We have no idea IF/WHEN there will be a resolution, whether today , tomorrow in a week, a month or 2027?

Better disclosure would be this is the problem the technicians have found, it's hardware or cables, and it should be back online by 23:00 etc?

We completely understand where you're coming from. More detailed updates would certainly be helpful, especially during longer interruptions.

 

The challenge is that our repair teams don't always have a confirmed root cause immediately. In many cases, they may initially suspect one issue, only to discover something different as the investigation progresses. Providing specific details too early can sometimes lead to inaccurate information being shared.

 

That said, we can absolutely appreciate the value of broader updates, such as whether the issue appears to be related to damaged equipment, cabling, power, or network infrastructure, along with more detailed progress updates when available. Feedback like yours helps us understand what customers would find most useful during an interruption.

 

We know that when you're waiting for service to be restored, "we're still working on it" can feel insufficient. We appreciate you sharing your perspective, and we'll make sure that feedback is documented.

2 days and still down. Disconcerting if a business account, even with cut Fiber, the issue is resolved in 4 hours. I know this, as my company was offline due to a fiber cut last year. It was fixed fairly quickly. The length of the outage is a bit hard to believe.

I understand your concerns, @user_31e29e I can assure you our technicians are working on the interruption. I would recommend keeping an eye on the Xfinity APP since that is where the latest updates will be posted.
