I've been suspicious of our xfinity landline since they made us dial 352 for local numbers. Just not the same. I don't mind overpaying as long as I get something different(like not having to dial 352).

Internet has been going off for a few minutes but cable TV is OK.

GREAT! Thanks, I forgot about that......

No need to be suspicious. Xfinity doesn't sell a real analog landline service. They sell a digital service that connects a phone line to a phone jack on the back of the Xfinity modem. If you want a real old fashioned analog phone service, you need to buy it from a telephone company that will deliver the service to your house using a separate, low voltage wire that will not depend on your house power or the Xfinity COAX cable. And, it will not go down when your house power is out. But, you may still need to dial 352 to make a local call because even the analog phone systems have gone to the 10 digit dialing system.

Xfinity down right now at my house in Mallory Square.

Been out twice in the last few hours, did a reboot and it came back. I assume usage is way up.

We're glued to the Weather Channel and the signal has dropped out a few times. Let's remember, even if you're on cable, the programming is being beamed from the news site to satellites and back down. Atmospheric interference can effect the signal going up to the satellite and back down. High winds can mess with the receiving dishes at the cable company's network center.

By the way, do you think Jim Cantore gets hazardous duty bonuses or does he do it for the glory?

Xfinity Internet and cable TV have been going in and out for the last couple of hours in Fenney. Last a couple of seconds to couple of minutes.

Your guess would be wrong!

Interesting. How do you know? Why did my internet come back on? I didn't reboot anything. I never reboot my modem when the internet goes down.

It’s an internet phone, not a traditional landline, just as your Cel phone is. It needs the area code as do cel phones. You don’t have a real land line anymore.

I thought the guy at Fort Meyers Beach was the man this storm. Also the surge cam #9 that was on the beach and refused to die, providing great live video

It's been up and down all day.

[Mleeja]

Our service on both traditional cable and internet has been up and down. Xfinity acknowledges there is a service issue. We have been using Xfinity Stream this evening.
