Thursday of this week marked a national outage for the cable and internet company Comcast, and reports show that Saturday another outage occurred.
Users reported that service was down again, but on a smaller scale. Downdetector.com showed a "problem" beginning a little before 9 a.m. A problem is when there are around 50 or more users reporting issues with their service.
The outages peaked around 10 a.m. with over 150 users experiencing problems with Comcast or Xfinity. Since then they appear to be staying consistent or dropping slightly.
A Comcast spokesperson said later Saturday that a truck accident took down a wire, causing some customers to experience service issues. The company is working to address all service interruptions.
Users messaged the Philadelphia-based company over Twitter with their issues.
@comcast @Xfinity a four+ hour outage on a rainy Saturday where there is nothing else we can go do? Why does it take so long to fix? Bet @verizonfios isn’t out right now, maybe we’ll go with them next time. #creditplease pic.twitter.com/REXwpw2bz9

The one thing that sucks about streaming services on a TV is having to connect to WiFi. And Comcast currently has a power outage 😭

Woke up to a total @comcast service outage. No ETR. Guess I should figure out how to use the phone as a hot spot.
