Common 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. 1

    Restart your modem and router

    Unplug both devices for 30 seconds, then plug modem first, wait 2 minutes, then plug in router.

  2. 2

    Check cable connections

    Ensure coax cable is tight on both modem and wall outlet. Loose connections cause intermittent issues.

  3. 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. 4

    Check for local outages

    Use the Xfinity app or website to see if there's a reported outage in your area.

  5. 5

    Contact Comcast support

    If troubleshooting fails and no outage is reported, contact Xfinity support via app, website, or 1-800-XFINITY.
