[Updated: Down again] Comcast/Xfinity services down or internet not working? You're not alone facing this outage

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on March 16, 2021) follows:

Just in case you’re trying to get your head around why Xfinity services aren’t working for you, find solace in the fact that you aren’t the only one facing issues lately. A quick look at the micro-blogging site Twitter conveys there are many others affected by the same issue.

For a quick glance, here’s how some of the complainants word the problem:

@Xfinity

@Xfinity

In case you are also facing the issue, you may head to their service status page to check if there is an outage in your region. If you’re new to the process, you may head here for instruction regarding this.

Any official word on the matter? Negative, as yet. We’re yet to locate a word from the official service channels or their social media handles.

Rest assured, we’re keeping a continuous tab on all related developments, and will update this page with relevant info as and when we come across any. So in case you’re encountering the problem discussed here, stay hooked for updates.

Going by the latest information coming from services like Down Detector, it appears that Comcast is also having an outage in some regions as of now. Take a look at the outage map below:

While responding to one of the affected users, ComcastCares has responded by saying:

Oh no! Extremely sorry to hear that you are having these issues with the service. Please let us investigate this and ensure you are able to get back connected. Can you please send a DM with your service address and first/last name. -TE

While Comcast outages are usually region-specific, it could be the case of regular maintenance as well. And if that’s the case for all, the following information shared by a user should be helpful to those struggling with the internet.

We are seeing user reports wherein it’s shown the company says the outage has been resolved. However, among users, not everyone is of the same view.

Looks like the Xfinity service is under maintainence today, after suffering a massive outage yesterday. The maintainence, as you can see in the screenshot shared by a user here, is of around 6 hours.

We are still seeing user reports that say the Xfinity service has been having issues for hours now (last 12 hours in this case).

The Xfinity internet issues seems to be never ending at the moment as we are now seeing a sudden spike in complaints again.

It’s difficult to say if any specific regions are affected and/or if it’s even an issue or scheduled maintenance. The Xfinity support, meanwhile, is only giving generic responses at least on Twitter.

Going by reports surfacing on Twitter, it appears Comcast is undergoing an outage as of writing this.

Huh, another “scheduled” outage for Comcast that that they just forgot to mention was happening! Internet service out all night. WTF.

Apart from user reports, the Down detector also conveys an outage in some of the regions (as can be seen in the map below):

A user has now shared the Maintenance notification which explains the internet issues.

Additionally, Support has also shared that the Xfinity Connect app has now been discontinued. Here’s what they said:

As of April 20th, the Xfinity Connect app is unfortunately discontinued in an effort to streamline our apps as much as possible for the best customer experience.

Going by reports circulating on Twitter, looks like Xfinity users are encountering internet issues as of writing this. The Down detector also conveys a Comcast outage (as can be seen in the live outage map below).

I’m so sick of these damn #xfinity outtages. Four times this week, and now the whole system is shut down, not just internet. Why do we let them charge us this much for unreliable internet.

Going by reports, it’s yet another maintenance.

@comcastcares
does this “routine system maintenance” BS often, like twice monthly, all night long. Aka no internet all night long. As if nobody works the night shift. As if I never had a thesis to write that I stayed up late for. #comcastoutage #comcastdown #xfinityoutage

Hey
@Xfinity
if you’re going to do “scheduled” maintenance how bout you let people know ahead of time? There’s nothing worse than trying to get work done at night and everything goes down. A simple notification would allow customers to plan accordingly.
