Overnight, Comcast crews made great progress toward getting customers back online. Progress is still slow in some areas due to hazardous road conditions, particularly in Memphis, Florence and Huntsville. But, Comcast has brought in several dozen travel technicians from other markets to help support restoration efforts and won’t stop until all customers are connected.

Comcast crews worked overnight and made great progress towards restoring services in many areas impacted by Winter Storm Heather. Residents in Nashville, Knoxville and Memphis may still experience delays in getting back online. Frozen equipment and technology are causing a delay in repair efforts, but crews from across the region are working 24/7 to get residents back online.  

More than 1,000 residents may still be experiencing power outages. As a temporary power source, more than 700 generators are on-hand and are being deployed and relocated as needed. We want to extend our sincerest thanks to local power and utility companies and their employees who have also worked 24/7 to restore service. Know that as soon as power is restored, many Xfinity services will become available. 

The Xfinity retail store in Tupleo will remain closed today, and the Huntsville store will open today at Noon. All other Xfinity retail stores are operating at normal hours. 

Thank you for your continued patience as our crews complete their work as safely and quickly as possible.

5:00 p.m. CST, Jan. 16, 2024: 

Over the last few days, Winter Storm Heather has swept through the southeast including Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee leaving more than 1,600 residents without power. We monitor the weather carefully and put our emergency plans into place even before the storm starts to make sure we are prepared to restore services to our customers as safely and as quickly as possible.  

Currently, a large portion of Comcast’s service interruptions are related to equipment failure due to frigid temperatures and commercial power outages. Crews have been deployed from all over the region to assist in restoration, but due to road closures and hazardous conditions, efforts have been delayed. Currently, the most impacted cities are Memphis, Tenn., Jackson, Miss., and Monroe, La. 

For many of our customers, services should return after power is restored, and for those without power, we have more than 700 generators on-hand ready to be deployed once network repairs have been made and it is safe to do so. 

For the safety of our customers and employees, Xfinity retail stores in Memphis, Tenn., Nashville, Tenn., Monroe, La., Shreveport, La., Jackson, Miss., and Tupelo, Miss. are closed until further notice. 

Restoration efforts may be delayed as temperatures continue to drop. We know the services we provide are important to you, and for those impacted by the storm, we ask for your continued patience as we work quickly and safely to get you connected.  

We will continue to update customers on our progress here and on X (formerly Twitter), @ComcastSouth and Facebook @Comcast.
