Q: I’ve had to evacuate. Is there any way I can access my Xfinity services?
A: Yes, Xfinity WiFi hotspots are open to help residents and emergency personnel stay connected. Access is available to anyone who needs it, including non-Xfinity customers. To access local Xfinity WiFi hotspots:
- For a map of Xfinity WiFi hotspots, which are located at small businesses and in outdoor locations such as shopping districts and parks, please visit xfinity.com/wifi.
- Once at a hotspot, select the “xfinitywifi” network name in the list of available hotspots and then launch a browser.
- Xfinity Internet customers can sign in with their username and password, and they will be automatically connected at Xfinity WiFi hotspots in the future.
- Non-Xfinity Internet subscribers should visit the “Not an Xfinity Internet Customer” section on the sign-in page to get started. Non-customers will be able to renew their complimentary sessions every two hours.
- If you are prompted for a password or other login credentials, then you are attempting to access an Xfinity WiFi hotspot that is located in a home, not in a business or outdoor location. This hotspot is not a part of the free Xfinity WiFi access program.
In addition, you can use the following Xfinity apps:
- Xfinity TV customers can watch live TV and Xfinity On Demand on any device in home and while out of the house.

Q: What should I do if my Xfinity service is down?
A: If your service is down, check My Account or the Status Center first to see if there’s a known outage in your area. If it shows an outage for your address, there is no need to call, as we’re monitoring our network and will work quickly to restore your service as soon as conditions are safe. You may notice some temporary service interruptions while our technicians work to get everything repaired.
If you are experiencing a loss of Xfinity services due to severe weather conditions, please be aware that this could be the result of a local power outage and/or damage to our network that serves your neighborhood. We will work as quickly and safely as possible to restore your service, but please be aware that we typically must wait for local power companies to first restore power to your neighborhood and for local authorities to allow our teams into the area to repair our network. It is possible that power could be restored to your home but the Xfinity network serving your neighborhood is still affected, preventing Xfinity services from working. Also, power must be restored at your home before Xfinity services can work properly.

Q: What if my power is out?
A: If you are experiencing a loss of Xfinity services due to severe weather conditions, please be aware that this could be the result of a local power outage and/or damage to our network that serves your neighborhood since our services require commercial power to operate. We will work as quickly and safely as possible to restore your service, but please be aware that we typically must wait for local power companies to first restore power to your neighborhood and for local authorities to allow our teams into the area to repair our network. It is possible that local power could be restored to your home but the Xfinity network serving your neighborhood is still affected, preventing Xfinity services from working.
Q: I have power, but my Xfinity services are out. Why don’t I have Xfinity services?

Q: I have TV service but it goes in and out and the picture quality is not as good as usual.

Q: My neighbor has TV, Internet and Voice services but I do not.
A: Even though your neighbor may have service, it’s possible that your home receives its Xfinity connection from another part of our network that has been affected by the severe weather. Crews will restore services as quickly as possible.
