Thanks for all the tips on this: We don’t know yet if it’s related, but a widespread Comcast/Xfinity outage is reported – we’ve heard from affected customers from Alki to North Delridge to The Junction to Morgan Junction to South Delridge, so far.
I have an outage in High Point too. Mobile networks seem way slower too – I guess everyone working from home is tethering?
We’re at California Ave, few blocks south from Admiral and we have the same issue since about 11:00am. Even our data is slower than usual
Times like this really make me wish I had more choices for internet. Both options here in Seattle are very poor. Comcast continually trying to trick you with deals, and century link is so bad I won’t even bother with them again. Are their good cellular options for Highland Park? Now that my internet is down it affects my wife and I’s ability to earn a living.
I’ve had Centurylink fiber for 4 years. Not one outage, and no price increases for life. I am pretty happy with them so far.
Love my Centurylink. Never had a problem, but then I never had problems with Comcast for the 20+ years I was with them.
Not sure what problem you had with centurylink. I have used their gigafiber for 4 years straight and its only gone out once a couple of months ago. It was out for 1 hour. That is pretty amazing service. Blazing fast and only about $65 a month, no download limits either. I cannot believe anyone in this city uses comcast.
We use Comcast because legal monopolies still exist (and suck). Can’t get fiber in our hood.
I’ve had centurylink fiber for 4 years and it’s only gone down once. Awesome speeds, decent prices, and high reliability. Your experience is very different from mine.
Comcast sent a text that all was restored, but I can’t get the cable or modem to get going. No internet. Anyone else still having connectivity issues?
Yes out in Alki. I received this message from tech support just now: due to unforeseen circumstances, your area is experiencing an interruption to their XFINITY Internet. We are working to resolve the issue. Interruption began on 07/28/2020 10:48 AM (Pacific) and is expected to end 07/28/2020 02:49 PM (Pacific).
Ours has been off and on all morning. We’ve been experiencing this for a few days.
never affected Arbor heights – which is good for me as I work from home talking calls – my boss it not understanding – since work from home, I have had two internet outages and she docks me the hours I am off the phones even though I am here ready to work – life during war time.
I’m sorry, Michael. I assume they are not paying for your internet as well either. Working from home can save companies a lot of money, Im concerned we won’t see them step up to pay for tools they used to provide for their employees. I know of a company or two that does this, but their employees were permanent work from home long before COVID.
Irritating that the only alternative in parts of High Point cannot be classified “broadband” by FCC rule. You can have Comcast ($$$) or 1.5mbps DSL from Clink for ($59.99). That’s it. I hope I can get on the Starlink beta.
TrickyCoolJ,I would love to know why Century Link fiber seems to be prohibited in High Point. If I use the Century Link website to search my neighbors’ addresses (which are not officially under the dominion of the Seattle Housing Authority) I find many are gig speed enabled. Literally homes across the street and farther down the street have Century Link fiber but as a High Point residence I don’t. I’ve called Century Link and they can’t tell me why although I suspect there was some exclusive contract the Seattle Housing Authority signed with Comcast. Any insight from your end would be helpful. Thanks!
Does anyone in upper Alki/Admiral have a more reliable and faster option?
I have CenturyLink also and no issues. High speed fiber too.I’m below the Junction. I vpn into work and the folks in the home are online a lot and no drops even watching Netflix.I did have to reboot my router once.
What are we paying for??? I had 2 techs out last week, both did different things; one up the pole. I call for a discount on my bill. Estimate 8.00 per day! Brother! Such a waste of time when I need to be working at home! When will the fiber optic be installed???? 2022???? Enough with the bridge out! LOL!
I have Comcast (Morgan Junction-ish area) and it goes out pretty much everyday for 10-20 minutes. Luckily my employer provides me with a hotspot as a backup so I always have that nearby and turn that on as soon as Comcast drops.That’s my workaround.
Xfinity issues since at least 8 this morning. I didn’t notice before that since I didn’t need it.
Have been experiencing intermittent outages all day in High Point. Two Xfinity trucks with workers in the air at about 10:45 am this morning just outside my home but things aren’t any better after they left. Connection will be working fine for ten to twenty minutes with good bandwidth (> 100 mbps) and then I’ll just lose connection… and then a minute or two later things will magically start working again. Anybody else still experiencing issues?
Hitting SE Seattle. Not a complete outage, just super, super slow and intermittent.
Sorry, comment time is over.
