You say the inconvenience is worth more like $50 to you? Well, then $50 for seven hours is about $5,100 for a 30 day month. Are you willing to pay $5,100 in order to collect $50 for your inconvenience over seven hours?

To be fair, this is the first and longest outage I am aware of in the two years I've had Xfinity. I think I've had one similar electrical outage but it didn't even occur to me to try to collect for my inconvenience.
