Can’t access Netflix on payment arrangement

I know that we can’t use PPV or order movies when on a payment arrangement. But I can’t access ANY of the apps that require internet. Even though my internet is fine. No Netflix, Hulu, or peacock. Not even YouTube. Is this normal? And if so why isn’t that disclosed? It only says we won’t have access to PPV and paid on demand.

I haven't been able to sign onto Netflix all day today. I click on the app and it acts like it will open but it doesn't at all. I have a good Wifi connection. I had even used Netflix the other day with no issues. I also can use Netflix on my other devices. I asked about this issue on the apps tab under Xfinity Community Forum but no answers on what may be wrong.

Ironically it stopped working again this afternoon. Hopefully it will correct itself again. Thanks. I can still watch it on my two other TV's.

Hello @user_34ba6e. When an account is in a soft disconnect from non-payment, the internet may be limited and downgraded. It may still work with web access, but it will not work with X1 apps that use the internet.

@XfinityWilliam​ it wasn’t in soft disconnect. It was active. Today I’m active and still can’t access YouTube or any of the “apps” on the cable box

It’s me again. Paid the past due.  Can’t access anything. Last time I posted here it fixed and I’m hoping to have the same results.

Hello @user_bdslmo, thanks for reaching out for help with loading Netflix on your PlayStation. 

Are you only having trouble with this on your PlayStation, or have you tested it on other devices to see if this works? If you are getting any errors when trying to load this app, you can also try things like uninstalling/reinstalling the Netflix app to see if this helps.
