Comcast Internet Down
 
Ours has been down most of the day here in Gilchrist. TV and landline are fine. Made it through Ian and now 3 days later we have a problem.

Same in Bonita but goes out and comes back

We were intermittent from around 10:00 to 11:00 this morning but haven’t had any issues since. We’re south of 44.

Mleeja 09-30-2022 08:30 PM

Around 10 or 11 this morning we had a short outage. Has been fine since. North of 466 near Savannah Center.

We had a couple of outages - unplugged/reset system and came back each time.

Internet update- outage started yesterday morning around 10:00 and it’s still out. All TV boxes including Genie work fine including streaming services. Landline also okay. App and phone call end with message that I have an outage. Guess I don’t understand how system works since I thought streaming and genie work through Wi-Fi. Oh well.

There've intermittent outages...2 to 3 per day...for the past couple of days. Last a few seconds and then it comes back up. Probably not a surprise, a lot of repair and cleaning work going on.

Mine has been going down periodically starting Wednesday. I need to restart the modem each time to get it to come back up.

We have been with Spectrum for Internet services for 10 years. I can count on less than one hand the problems encountered over that time. During Hurricane Ian we had one surge and Spectrum was back online in less than 5 minutes. Their Customer Service is great. I highly recommend them.

I have noticed three times since the storm when I have not been able to reach the internet. I did not reboot my modem, I just waited and in about 10 minutes things came back to normal.

Like the old saying says, they got to get the bugs out!

Reposting from a topic from 3 days ago. The same applies for today. It's all due to damaged infrastructure from the hurricane. Comcast does't "produce" it's own internet. The data comes off of the national backbone through WIRES into Comcast data centers then out on WIRES to local areas. Had a few short outages today as well as some cable signal issues. If you log into your account, you will likely see a "we are aware of outages in your area ....." message. If you have a 3rd party cable modem you can likely even see your incoming signal sometimes drop off.

Edit: rebooting your modem when it's a data issue doesn't matter unless it's just a coincidence. There can be plenty of signal but no data.

This was posted over the past weekend but remains the same and may for some time.

If your service didn't intermittently go down it was likely you weren't using it when it did. I get notified when internet is down for more than 30-45 seconds. Over the last few days it was out numerous times. Today, as of 10PM, was the first 100% uptime day since the storm. How about the other ~20% of Florida who have no service and those with no homes to get service? I guess we tend to be a bit spoiled. ;)

"Genie" (if that is what TV box you have) are DirecTV satellite service DVR receivers and have nothing to do with the internet. If your internet is down your streaming services can't possibly work unless DirecTV is providing it via satellite which they used to do years ago when I was working for them. If you can stream OVER THE INTERNET (not through DirecTV satellites) your internet will work which would mean you have a computer or wifi issue. Best to shut down computer, cable modem then restart (modem first)

Been spotty for days. Refused to accept a system refresh. Message was it would not fix the problem.

Michael G. 10-06-2022 06:35 AM

I wonder if a lot out this isn't from the repairs and cleaning up down south after Ian.
