Milton store prediction

Open Xfinity WiFi Hotspots: 

To help residents and emergency personnel stay connected ahead of and after Hurricane Milton’s landfall in Florida, Comcast has opened more than 261,000 public Xfinity WiFi hotspots in areas it serves across the state. The free and public hotspots are open for anyone to use, including non-Xfinity customers.  

“With this second storm impacting Florida so soon, we want to do all we can to help those affected by Milton stay connected. Whether it is video calling loved ones or receiving the latest safety information, being able to get online is critical. We hope opening these hotspots across the state will give Floridians one more tool to support them,” said Jeff Buzzelli, Senior Vice President for Comcast’s Florida Region. “Florida is home to thousands of our team members across the state. We’re proud to be a part of these communities and will do everything we can to support them before and after the storm.”

We are monitoring Hurricane Milton and its potential impact on Florida. The National Hurricane Center declares that there is an increasing risk of life-threatening storm surge and damaging winds for portions of the west coast of the Florida Peninsula beginning Tuesday night or early Wednesday. Storm Surge and Hurricane Watches are in effect for these areas. We urge anyone in Milton’s path to heed warnings by local officials. Heavy rainfall will impact portions of Florida today ahead of the storm, with more rainfall from Milton expected on Tuesday. This rainfall brings the risk of considerable flooding.

Comcast is preparing crews across the state to respond in the event of service interruptions to our network. We encourage you and your family to stay weather-aware and follow your local news and local authorities for updates. Our response teams are actively analyzing weather reports, putting our emergency plans in place and ensuring our crews and supplies are ready to be safely deployed.  The safety of our customers and our employees remains our top priority, and we’re here to keep you connected.   

Stay Informed

In advance of the storm, here are some tips on staying up to date on your Xfinity or Comcast Business service:  

  • Text Alerts: Xfinity customers can receive text alerts about service interruptions by texting START to 266278 (COMCST). Comcast Business customers can also receive text alerts by registering their mobile numbers in the preference center within the My Account section. 
  • Xfinity & Comcast Business Apps: Xfinity and Comcast Business customers can get the latest status information by using their respective apps – Xfinity app and Comcast Business App.
