Why not guess again!

I was just making the point that the Xfinity system is designed so that, if the internet service is interrupted by Xfinity for a short period of time, and then it is restored, your internet service will come back on automatically without the need to reboot the modem. That is the way it is designed to function. It happened that way several times today. If you have additional information, I am always interested in learning something new.

Xfinity's main hub for internet service is in Sarasota. Need I say more.

I get the weather channel, but all others say "temporarily unavailable". Why do I get one channel but no others? I have tried resetting.

We only have internet with Comcast, and use Utube TV. Have all our normal channels, with no issues

Xfinity canned email said service would be back Nov 1st. At 1am this morning they texted service was restored but it wasn’t.

Because he was bored ??

And wanted to start an argument about whether it’s necessary to re-boot the modem to restore service ?

And he wanted to - - - -(fill in the blanks)

BTW , I had a few intermittent outages yesterday and I DID NOT have to re-boot anything. It comes back on its own ….

Because it helps the rest of us understand each other’s situation, the provider’s reliability, and even just “hear” the voices of our forum Villagers and know that they are safe.

Well, this is a discussion forum about the Villages. It's accessed primarily via the internet. Xfinity is an internet service provider. If Xfinity is having sporadic problems in parts of the Villages, it's probably useful information to know, for people who have Xfinity in other parts of the Villages. So when their internet craps out, they can say "oh yeah - that guy in Mission Hills said he was having problems. Maybe it's related" instead of wondering or trying to unplug everything and plug it all back in thinking the problem is inside the house.
