Xfinity Outage showing no updates

I have been in an outage due to severe weather now since 1/25/26 at 605 am. The estimated time of restoration has shown "as soon as possible" the entire time. The status has shown "under investigation the entire time" - however at the bottom under last updated, this has changed constantly about every 3 hours or so for 3 days straight now. Yet there is no notification of update - i signed u0 for 2 phones to get texted updates,  the app shows no actual updates and neither does just the website. I cannot get ahold of anyone via a phone, a chat or an email to provide any further details that specify in further what these supposed updates are. Can you please provide assistance for this?

Our internet has been down all day pretty much. Was fine into late last night. Not sure this will help anyone, but fwiw I was finally able to get internet via 5G on my mobile phone but only once I actually set my wifi to off. It kept fluctuating before then between showing either 5g or wifi symbol at top of my phone, but I could not get anything to connect through internet. Trying not to use it too much since I'm on a low data mobile plan and scared of what it'll do to my next bill.

I  trust the folks working on this in areas with snow, ice, fallen trees, and power lines down are doing their best as fast as humanly and safely possible. Same with electric company line workers. Thankfully we were without power for only 9 hours, while thousands of others have been without for 2, nearly 3 days. 

Hang in there, everybody! I kinda understand a little better why some people go live in the wilderness and bathe in a creek and eat berries and squirrels!

Hey @barbnash, Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. Please be sure to keep an eye on the Xfinity App for any service interruption updates. We do have engineers and technicians working around the clock to get the network online. Do you currently subscribe to our Xfinity Mobile cellular service?
 
With our Xfinity Mobile Premium Unlimited, you would get 30 GBs of mobile hotspot data before the unlimited data reduced speeds. Our Unlimited plan includes unlimited 3G data speeds through our hotspot. As long as you are within an Xfinity Mobile coverage area, there should be no additional charges for using the mobile hotspot feature to keep you connected.

Yeah I was going crazy not being able to do normal pretty simple online things. Like word games to hopefully keep my mind, such as it is, as sharp as I can. Not like I stream movies or even a lot of videos on my phone. Data was going over the 1GB anyway (usually I am way under, like 0.0x, so I said "beep! it" and went for the unlimited plan. Will just have to watch my budget a bit closer since my monthly bill will double.  I realize there's no going back to the 1GB plan, but unlimited gives me some peace of mind for when things like this happen. 

Still no internet where I am. Bummer, but there ya go. Crazy times! Surely it'll get fixed soon... ish...

(And yes I'm on Xfinity Mobile. Have been for a few years at least.)

Oh, and sorry, but not sure I really trust using hotspots. Rather either use my secure wifi (obviously not working currently) or cellular if wifi not working. Use Ethernet for PC internet and Roku (not working right now of course.) Yay for digital over the air antenna tv, better than nothing. Actually saw several decent films on Movies! yesterday.

I hope you got internet back! 

Mine came back about an hour ago, give or take. Everything working again. 

I hope I won't be sorry for upgrading from 1GB mobile data to unlimited for my phone, but probably for the best, all things considered! Good to have wifi working again!
