API Status CheckCommon Comcast Issues During Outages
Complete internet outage
No connection to any websites or services, modem/router shows offline status or red lights.
Slow speeds or intermittent drops
Connection frequently drops, pages load slowly, or video streaming buffers constantly during peak hours.
Cable TV or phone service down
Internet may work while cable TV shows 'no signal' or phone service (including VoIP) is unavailable.
Regional or neighborhood outages
Entire neighborhoods or ZIP codes may lose service during infrastructure issues, maintenance, or severe weather.
Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Comcast Is Down
- 1
Restart your modem and router
Unplug both devices for 30 seconds, then plug modem first, wait 2 minutes, then plug in router.
- 2
Check cable connections
Ensure coax cable is tight on both modem and wall outlet. Loose connections cause intermittent issues.
- 3
Test with ethernet cable
Connect directly to modem via ethernet to rule out WiFi issues. If wired works, the problem is your router or WiFi.
- 4
Check for local outages
Use the Xfinity app or website to see if there's a reported outage in your area.
- 5
Contact Comcast support
If troubleshooting fails and no outage is reported, contact Xfinity support via app, website, or 1-800-XFINITY.
