Comcast Update on Storm Impact in Monroe and Shreveport, La.

After recent storms ripped through Monroe and Shreveport (La.), the cities suffered widespread power outages. Comcast is working closely with local power companies to restore all services as quickly as possible.

At this time, the vast majority of Comcast’s service interruptions are due to commercial power outages. For most customers, services should return after power is restored, and access to damaged facilities and downed lines have been cleared.

However, even though power might have been restored to an individual’s home, there are instances where power has not yet been fully restored to the local Comcast distribution point that serves the neighborhood. Our teams are working to activate generators to supply temporary power to those areas until power is restored.

We understand how critically important it is for our customers to be connected right now and we will continue to work around the clock until services are fully restored for every customer.

The most effective way for Xfinity customers to get outage updates is to log into xfinity.com/myaccount from any secure, Internet-enabled mobile device or computer, or to download the Xfinity My Account app. If a customer’s power has been restored and they are aware that their neighbors have service and they don’t, they should call 1-800-XFINITY. (See below for “I have power, but my Xfinity services are out. Why don’t I have Xfinity services?”)
