Yahoo Finance Xfinity outage - latest updates: Internet issues continue for many Comcast users
Xfinity internet and cable has gone down, in an outage affecting users across the country.
People were unable to get online – or even, in some cases, to check whether their internet had broken at all.
The problems appear to be the result of technical issues at the provider.
But neither Xfinity or its parent company Comcast have yet recognised the issue, or given any indication of how long it might last.

Xfinity support finally acknowledges issues – though not publicly

The official Xfinity Support Twitter account has had a busy morning – it is replying to multiple complaints per minute. But it hasn’t yet posted a public admission that there’s something going on.
In tweets, however, it does seem to acknowledge that there is something widespread going on:
Thank you for reaching out! I do apologize you are experiencing a service interruption in your area. We are currently having connection concerns around the nation, our network team is working hard toward a resolution. Thank you for your patience! -MR

There’s still no indication of what it might be or when it might be fixed, however.
Affected users ask for help with excuses

Given that people often rely on their home internet to also be their work internet, these days, such an outage can be especially unhelpful. As this tweet notes:
If you’re experiencing the Xfinity Comcast outage, can you like this tweet so I can make sure my boss believes me. Thank you. 🤣 #Xfinitydown #comcastdown

As this humorous tweet suggests, the centre of the Xfinity outage appears to be... everywhere.
