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

Just please put out a statement with simple explanation. Was a hub destroyed. When do u estimate it will be fixed. Have u ordered new parts. Just put out a statement. 2 full weeks of silence is not reassuring to your customers. Social media. News. Radio. Xfinity app. ANYTHING!!! U truly do not care at all. Well starlink or even WoW, time to shop around for new service

@XfinityBrianH​ Can you please explain in detail which part of "we can't spare the data to load another browser link" is difficult for you to comprehend? Thanks.

We apologize for any inconvenience and just know that our teams are working around the clock to get everyone's services back up and running.

 

We understand that not everybody has mobile data options but we're just providing all the information we can to assist our customers to get through this until our team can get everyone's services back up and running

No you are not. You guys are just sitting around not doing anything. There’s no reason why we should bebe without service for TWO WEEKS! Especially if we have our power back. Some of us have to rely on the internet to work so if you’re not going to fix the service or put money INTO MY BANK ACCOUNT FOR MISSED WORK DAYS OR POTENTIALLY BEING FIRED then i truly don’t want to hear a generic response that helps absolutely nothing. I don’t have patience and I’m really fed up

Our service has been out since the storm. Earlier they had told us we would have service restored by Oct 19th. Now they are telling us that we should have service again by tomorrow morning. If that happens I will eat your hat.

@user_535nne I completely understand the ongoing frustration. We coordinate our recovery efforts closely with local and state government, power companies, and other local entities as we are continuing to work to restore service to areas effected by the recent hurricane. There was a lot of damage and work that needs to be done which is definitely a major component causing delays, in additional to working with other additional entities. Please know it's our priority and goal to get everyone effected up and running as quickly as possible. We don't want you to be without service any more than you do.

I can appreciate how complex the situation is.  Running high speed internet is not as easy as running electricity, and running electricity is complex.

My issue is not with the work the linemen are doing but with Xfinity as a company and its somewhat absurd estimates.

For those like myself who primarily work from home, it's a bad look to be telling our companies, "Yep, the estimate from Xfinity is 9 October."

"I mean... 11 October"

"I mean wait, 17 October"

"Scratch that, I mean 24 October"

"well, now it just says 'As soon as possible'"

Xfinity's lack of transparency means that paying customers need to divine what's happening on the ground.  And from what I can tell, matched with what some linemen have posted, there are a few issues:

1. Downed lines being cut or destroyed by well-meaning cleanup crews (Xfinity has acknowledged this)

2. Changing up payment structure for subcontractors which has caused some crews to leave, reducing the overall workforce strength (Xfinity has not acknowledged this)

3. A supply problem of materials pertaining to hubs and new runs to replace old ones (Xfinity has not acknowledged this)

Add this to estimates that reliably slip, and it really does damage consumer trust.  Personally, I have nobody else providing Internet in my area.  I am on a T-Mobile home internet modem right now, but it is definitely trash reliability and is only in use until Xfinity comes back on.

However, the very second fiber is available, it is goodbye forever.

Xfinity, you have to own the fact that you've done this to customers who would otherwise be loyal.

Thanks for your comment and feedback, vovchyk_bratyk. We understand this situation has been extremely frustrating, and we sincerely appreciate your continued patience while our field team works to restore services in your area. Keep in mind that the estimated resolution timeframes for these types of repairs can change depending on what's causing the issue. The best way to stay updated would be online on our Support Center Website or through our Xfinity App. Are you taking advantage of these support tools?
