A widespread outage gripped Comcast in the US, with users experiencing a sudden disruption in internet and television services.
Affecting a vast area, including major cities and suburbs such as parts of Michigan, and leaving homes and businesses without connectivity, the blackout has reportedly been resolved.
Xfinity's Comsats outage in the US caused frustration as users lost access to streaming, online gaming, and live TV during a popular evening time for entertainment. Similarly, small businesses relying on Comcast for transactions and online orders also encountered severe difficulties.
The Comsats outage rapidly captured the limelight as customers, unable to use their internet or watch cable, took to social media and lodged a myriad of complaints.
With the outage in place, Comcast’s website and app slowed down as an overwhelming number of people searched for updates.
Nearly 30 minutes after disruptions in Comsats' internet and TV services, reports began emerging that the company was working to restore service.
The outage highlighted how important reliable telecommunications are for routine activities like work, entertainment, and business operations.
