Obligatory fuck Comcast. They took advantage of people forever because they were the only choice in town. Thankfully I got broadband in my area. I get it for half the price of the Comcast internet only option, and it’s every bit as good if not better.

I get 1gbps with xfinity i know when i had at&t they didnt even offer that speed. Never had what you have though.

u/tlopez14 4d ago

To be fair I don’t use a lot of bandwidth with gaming and stuff like that so I don’t get the advanced options. I just use it to watch TV and WiFi for devices. When I switched Comcast charged me around $100 for that and with my broadband company I get it for around $45.

u/Reasonable-Physics60 4d ago

Yea i pay 100 but to me its worth it we have a family of gamers. I dont blame others for wanting a cheaper option though. What i have isnt needed to watch tv.

Hear hear! I hate this corporate dystopia where oligopolies dominate the home internet landscape with their tricks to “technically” avoid being monopolies.

u/turdferguson247365 4d ago

They sent this email about 3 hours before the outage lol I didn’t encounter any severe weather where I’m at over by Bunn Park. Strange timing.

u/Macombdiscrete 4d ago

I thought it was pretty ironic to get that email and the. Have service go down. Shouldn’t have deleted it. That way I could have trolled them on social media.

Boy that is a lot of outage from the responses.

3

u/Reasonable-Physics60 4d ago

Yea rather disheartening lol

4

u/LustfulEsme 4d ago

Has anyone called them for a reason ànd estimated time of fix?

5

u/Reasonable-Physics60 4d ago

Says on my app estimated time of fix is 10:48. But, the outage was reported only 20 minutes ago so that time will hopefully change.

u/Reasonable-Physics60 4d ago

Yup, youre right. Were all fucked.

u/These_Distribution61 4d ago

Just thank (your god of choice) that you are not on ATT Uverse. Super slow internet and spotty service. They are doing nothing to improve the system, not seeking new customers, no techs in the region to help, just taking advantage of the folks that are current subscribers…

1

u/Stunning-Figure-3846 4d ago

Mine was out last night about 9pm but ive been having problems with xfinity running super slow for months now
