Monday, October 21 @ 2:30 p.m. 

This will serve as our final long-form update for Milton.

Thanks to the dedication and hard work of our technicians, construction crews, maintenance staff, and engineers, who have been working nonstop since Milton made landfall, we can report that the majority of our Comcast Business and Xfinity customers are now back online and enjoying essential services. For those still experiencing service interruptions, we apologize for the inconvenience and encourage you to visit your Xfinity App to speak with a representative for more information.

On Florida’s barrier islands, Milton caused significant damage to the electricity infrastructure and in some cases, our equipment has been buried under sand. Our specialists continue to work in tandem with local authorities to ensure that the necessary repairs happen as quickly as possible.

As with any major storm, there are challenges with the final phases of clean-up. Secondary outages may occur due to accidental fiber cuts, the replacement of temporary lines, and the extensive task of inspecting individual homes and businesses for fiber damage. For those still experiencing service interruptions, we apologize for the inconvenience and encourage you to visit your Xfinity App to speak with a representative for more information.

To our valued customers – we extend our deepest gratitude for your patience with us and trust in us to get you back online. Throughout the restoration process, our teams in the field have been deeply moved by your kindness and support. Your gratitude, smiles, and waves have been a source of motivation and inspiration for our teams as they worked to restore our network.

We want to thank our hardworking techs who meticulously worked around the clock to assess and repair damage, replace fiber and restore our network. To the crews that traveled from far and beyond, thank you for standing shoulder to shoulder with our Florida team members to rebuild the community.

From Helene to Milton, the resilience and understanding of our customers have been instrumental in recovery and restoration. We are honored to serve you and remain committed to providing the reliable service you deserve.


Sunday, October 20 @ 12:50 p.m. 

Restoration work continues in the hard-hit areas along Florida’s West Coast, including Port Charlotte, Sarasota and Venice. We thank our customers for their continued patience as we work to get every remaining Comcast Business and Xfinity customer back online. Currently, we’ve restored connectivity to more than 99% of those impacted by Milton. Our teams of network restoration experts are on the ground, working right now to get everything back in place.

There are challenges with the last phases of recovery after any severe storm, and Milton has been no exception. Secondary outages may occur due to accidental fiber cuts, the replacement of temporary lines, and the extensive task of inspecting individual homes and businesses for fiber damage. We appreciate your understanding as our teams continue to blanket the remaining homes and businesses without service and ask for your assistance in avoiding fiber lines during the clean-up process.

Saturday, October 19 @ 11:30 a.m.

In the wake of Hurricane Milton, a category 3 storm that caused destruction particularly along Florida’s coasts, our dedicated emergency response team ranging from technicians, construction specialists and maintenance experts mobilized across Florida. Hundreds of employees from Florida and beyond plus additional contractors have successfully restored service to over 99% of our storm-affected customers.

Our teams continue to work relentlessly, clearing debris and repairing significant network damage to the hardest hit areas including Port Charlotte, Sarasota and Venice. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this prolonged outage and assure you that we are working diligently and safely to restore full service.

In addition to working through the most severe of Milton’s devastation, we are facing challenges with fiber cuts as debris removal crews inadvertently sever some of our newly installed lines, leading to intermittent service disruptions. Please be careful and avoid lines whenever possible. To report a downed line, you can chat with an Xfinity Assistant through the Xfinity App or the Xfinity website


Friday, October 18 @ 4:30 p.m.

We know that this has been a challenging time, and we deeply appreciate your patience as we work to get all homes and businesses restored and connected to our services. Our dedicated teams of technicians across Florida are working around the clock and making significant progress toward full restoration. We’re happy to share that we’ve restored connectivity to 98% of the homes and businesses affected by Milton.

Our teams continue to work and are out in force along the west coast of Florida to repair damage in Tampa, Sarasota, Venice, Port Charlotte and the surrounding areas who were impacted by Milton’s initial landfall and extensive wind damage. Our crews are also working diligently in Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie and other cities on Florida’s east coast which were battered by tornadoes. Whether you are a coastal resident, live inland or on one of Florida’s barrier islands, please know that we are 100% committed to reconnecting every Xfinity and Comcast Business customer as quickly as possible. We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding and for trusting us with your connectivity.

Even if you don’t see our technicians on your street, please know they might be working the next block over or miles away on the network. You may not see our trucks, but rest assured, we are fully committed and working around the clock to restore your connectivity.

Significantly Impacted Areas

While our crews continue to make progress, there’s still significant work ahead along Florida’s East Coast including tornado-related damage and along Florida’s West Coast including storm surge related damage to our network. Restoring connectivity after a major storm like Hurricane Milton is a tremendous task. Fortunately, Comcast has experts in place including teams from out-of-state and contracted crews. This phase of the restoration process is often slow as our technicians must meticulously examine each foot of fiber and inspect equipment to identify network damage. We apologize to those experiencing prolonged service outages and assure you that our teams will not stop working diligently until our services are restored to every home and business.

The work continues as we’re committed to restoring Comcast Business and Xfinity services for every customer. For the latest restoration timelines, visit here.

As part of our deep commitment to the communities we serve across the state, we announced today Comcast NBCUniversal is donating $500,000 to Hurricane Milton Relief in Florida.

“Comcast’s commitment to assist people devastated by Hurricane Milton is a blessing and will allow Catholic Charities Diocese of Venice to provide help and create hope by providing food, water, tarps, temporary housing, long-term recovery services, and other immediate needs,” said Christoper Roots, CEO of Catholic Charities Diocese of Venice.

“We are deeply grateful to Comcast for its continued support in our community’s time of need.” Said Nelle S. Miller, All Faiths Food Bank president and CEO. “This second generous gift is crucial as we work to provide relief to families just beginning to assess and recover from the impacts of three back-to-back hurricanes. Comcast’s dedication is a testament to its commitment to our neighbors who are facing a long road ahead to rebuild their homes and lives.”

In addition to the cash and in-kind contributions, Comcast opened the Xfinity Support Center outside the Selby Library in Sarasota, Florida. The Xfinity Support Center is located in the library’s north parking lot. There will be free WiFi accessible daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for any who needs it. The Xfinity Support Center will be open from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily so people can charge their phones and customers can swap equipment or speak with a representative.

Fortifying Our Workforce

In addition to the hundreds of technicians already on the ground, we continue to bring in support from across the company. Just this morning, talented and skilled technicians left Houston, Texas headed to Florida. They will help as we work nonstop to restore services.


Monday, October 14 @ 3:00 p.m.

Our network restoration crews continue their efforts across Florida to restore connectivity for every Comcast Business & Xfinity customer. We’ve deployed hundreds of technicians, including teams from other states and additional contracted crews, to expedite restoration efforts. They’re on the ground working in all impacted areas. Please note that while you may not see our techs on your street, our teams may be miles away working on the network, so you might not see our trucks but rest assured – we are working.

Thanks to these hard-working experts, we’re making significant progress. Currently, we’ve restored connectivity to 86% of the homes and businesses across Florida impacted by Milton. Working with local authorities and power companies, we anticipate the vast majority of our customers will have their services restored no later than Wednesday, October 23, 2024. We thank them for their patience as our teams work nonstop in hard-hit areas.

On Florida’s Gulf Coast, Hurricane Milton delivered a significant punch especially on the barrier islands. Below, you’ll find a list of counties and Comcast’s anticipated restoration timelines.

Our predominately restored timeline estimations depend on several factors, such as the remaining commercial power restoration to our network, our crews’ ability to access the locations, and whether debris will hinder the necessary construction and connection work necessary to restore connectivity to homes. Please note that estimates are based on current known factors and may change. Often, customers will have their services restored well before the dates listed below. Predominantly restored means our network is operational, and services have been restored for approximately 90% of our customers.

Help Us Avoid Fiber Cuts

We need your help. Our teams are being redirected to areas that were previously restored because of accidental fiber cuts to newly installed lines. If you are working on debris removal and clean-up, please be cautious and avoid any lines, as they may be live and providing services to you, your neighbors, or your street. Damaging these lines can cause additional outages. To report a downed line, you can chat with an Xfinity Assistant through the Xfinity App or the Xfinity website.

Sunday, October 13 @ 2:30 p.m. 

Comcast has deployed hundreds of technicians who are working throughout the weekend to repair the portions of our network damaged by the storm. As of this morning, we have restored 81% of homes and businesses across Florida who were affected by Milton.

Currently, there are nearly 900,000 customers in Florida who are without power because of Milton. As electricity is restored, many of our customers are seeing their services come back online as well. It is possible that you may have electricity before commercial power returns to our network which could delay the restoration of your services. Where possible, our teams are deploying fuel-based generators as a temporary power solution until commercial electricity comes back to our facilities. 

We sincerely appreciate your patience. Please rest assured that we will continue to work until every home and business is back online. 


Saturday, October 12 @ 6:30 p.m.

Our emergency restoration teams continue to repair damage from Milton. Our crews are making tremendous progress and we have now restored 74% of homes and businesses affected by the hurricane.

Avoiding Fiber Cuts

Post-storms, everyone impacted faces the significant and often arduous task of clean-up. In the process, clean-up crews, as well as home and business owners, might accidentally cut live fiber lines, leading to intermittent outages for customers who previously had their service restored. Please exercise caution and avoid these lines whenever possible. 

To report a downed line, you can chat with an Xfinity Assistant through the Xfinity App or the Xfinity website. Additionally, here are a few tips to help you and your neighbors stay connected:

We will not stop until all Comcast Business and Xfinity services are restored.

Friday, October 11 @ 11:00 a. m.

Our expert teams of technicians are on the ground, hard at work assessing damage to our network and making repairs. Restoration across Florida’s Barrier Islands on the Gulf including Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Sanibel and Captiva Islands will take longer as our teams work to gain access. In order to enter and assess damage, power must be restored, flooding subside and the area be declared safe by local authorities. We are working closely with local officials and utility companies so that our techs can enter as quickly and safely as possible. We are committed to the safety of both our employees and customers and to restore services to all homes and businesses as swiftly as possible.

Power Restoration

Once power is restored to your home, often our services will be restored as well. Once power has been restored to your home or business, we suggest resetting or restarting your devices. For additional details on local status, please check our outage map. It is possible that you may have power before electricity returns to our network which could delay the restoration of your services. To assist in powering up our network where possible, our teams are deploying fuel-based generators as a temporary power solution until commercial power comes back online. Dedicated teams of technicians monitor and refuel the generators 24/7 to keep your services up and running.

Thursday, October 10 @ 6:00 p. m.

Nearly three million Florida residents are currently without power as of this evening. We are working closely with local officials and utility companies so our techs have access to areas to begin restoration efforts. Once allowed in, our expert teams will assess any damage and work to repair or replace network and equipment to get connectivity to our customers as quickly as possible.

As power is restored to homes and businesses, we anticipate many of our customers to have their connectivity restored as well. If power has returned to your home or business, we recommend restarting or resetting your devices. You can find additional information on impacts to our network by visiting Xfinity’s active outage map. In some cases, you may have electricity before power returns to our network, which may cause a delay in the restoration of your services.

Customer Service

Milton’s impact has been severe for many of our customers, with some homes significantly damaged and uninhabitable. Our thoughts are with you, and we don’t want you to worry about service charges while you’re away from home. If you’ve been displaced by Milton, you can request a ‘natural disaster pause’ on your account to avoid billing for up to six months. To submit your request, please visit Natural Disaster Customer Recovery Plan or call 1-800-XFINITY (934-6489). During the pause, your services will be suspended until your home’s connectivity is restored.

For customers enrolled in the Natural Disaster Customer Recovery Plan, you will find:

  • $0.00/month charge for Xfinity TV, Internet, and Voice services and equipment rentals while they are in a suspended state
  • Xfinity Internet customers can stay connected with Xfinity WiFi hotspots and maintain access to their comcast.net email address
  •  Xfinity TV customers can view limited On Demand content, plus live TV and news on select networks using the Xfinity Stream app
  • Resume billing and activate your services with just a few clicks

As connectivity returns to each home and/or neighborhood, we automatically remove the ‘natural disaster pause,’ which may take up to 24 hours to be resolved in the system. If you believe your service has been restored, but find that you’re still experiencing service interruptions, please contact Xfinity at 1-800-XFINITY to remove the pause.

Comcast tech prepares for restoration efforts

Thursday, October 10 @ 10:00 a. m.

We hope you and your families are safe following Hurricane Milton’s impact on Florida. The storm spawned a deadly tornado outbreak, left millions of people without electricity and the extent of damage is still being assessed this morning. When it is safe to do so, Comcast crews will span out across the state to survey any damage to our network and begin restoration efforts. We’re committed to restoring Comcast Business and Xfinity services for every single customer as quickly as possible.

Open Xfinity WiFi Hotspots

To help with connectivity when it matters most, Comcast opened all public Xfinity WiFi Hotspots in Florida. To learn how to get connected to one of the 362,000+ open hotspots, please visit this website.

**Please note: only areas that have power will have active hotspots. The WiFi hotspot map will list all locations, but only hotspots with electricity will be active. As power is restored, additional WiFi hotspot options will become available. 

How to Report a Downed Line

Our dedicated teams of technicians will survey areas throughout the state to assess potential damage to our equipment, facilities and lines.

We urge our customers to please stay away from any downed lines. A downed line is considered live and dangerous until assessed by local authorities. To report a downed line, you can chat with an Xfinity Assistant through the Xfinity App or the Xfinity website

To help residents and emergency personnel stay connected ahead of and after Hurricane Milton’s landfall in Florida, Comcast has now opened more than 362,000 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.
