Xfinity Internet Outage Disrupts Thousands Across Northern, Central California

A significant Xfinity internet and TV outage affected thousands of customers across multiple Northern and Central California cities, including Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Lodi, Los Banos, Clovis, Fresno, Madera, Mendota, and Perkins. The outage was caused by a vehicle striking a utility pole around 9 a.m. Wednesday in Rancho Cordova, which resulted in extensive network damage. Xfinity crews have been working throughout the day and into the night to repair the damage, with service restoration initially expected before 7 p.m. Wednesday but later revised to early Thursday morning. While most customers have seen their service return, a small number, especially in Rancho Cordova, were still expected to regain service later Thursday morning. The outage was limited to Xfinity's network and did not affect other providers such as AT&T Fiber, Sonic, Fidium, or Optimum. Customers were advised to monitor Xfinity's official status page for the latest updates on the restoration progress.
