Exclamation Comcast Outage

Currently happening for 2,500+ subscribers.

Original estimate for resuming service WAS 12:30ish...now they've added an hour.

From the time it took to write the OP, to right now...estimated time has decreased.

Thank you for your patience.
One can't help but wonder...how they can be that precise?

Turning wifi off on your phone lets you use the internet on it at your 4G speed.

Yep, "mobile hotspot" has been activated on my cell phone...and my desktop is now connected.

That works if you live in an area in The VIllages that has decent cell coverage! We have to rely on WiFi to get any cell connection.

That's a pretty darned accurate estimate!

But oops, as of right now now it says...

And mine shows it's for internet, phone AND voice.

Wow! Mine doesn't even have an estimate anymore, just that they will try hard to get it fixed!

"A service outage for Internet and Phone has been reported in your area. We're working to fully restore service as soon as possible."

My estimate now shows a nice generic...5:00PM (Eastern).


At last they gave up the pretense...of projecting some type of precise accuracy.

Outage is due to a utility repair crew breaking a fiber optic line. Not sure what utility.

Yeah, in my previous line of work, we called them cable finders. Others called them backhoes.
