Comcast Internet Outage Causes and Solutions
Comcast's network issue caused a widespread internet outage that started on Monday night and continued into Tuesday morning.
The outage affected Xfinity customers across the U.S., with some experiencing intermittent service disruptions.
One component of Comcast's national network was severely disrupted and went completely offline on Monday evening.
Customers on the West Coast saw a major outage on Monday night, and since then, customers in the Midwest, Southeast, and East Coast have also had trouble getting online.
Outage complaints dropped sharply after 11 a.m. ET, according to Down Detector.
The issues seemed to be resolving by Tuesday afternoon, with one expert saying he hadn't seen any other disruptions.
Comcast apologized for the disruption and is continuing to investigate the root cause of the issue.
The company's spokesperson confirmed the outages and apologized to those who were affected, but declined to give further details on what caused the disruption.
A message on Xfinity accounts informed customers that the issue had been addressed and service was being restored.
Comcast's network issue was unusual in that it caused seemingly sporadic outages in unusual ways that don't yet indicate a particular pattern.
