Xfinity Service Disruption Hits San Francisco: 24,000 Customers Without Internet

On Monday, March 17, 2025, a significant service outage left at least 24,000 Comcast Xfinity customers in San Francisco without internet, phone, and TV services. The disruption began early in the morning, with the first major outage reported near Chinatown at 6:33 a.m.

Affected Areas

The affected neighborhoods included the Outer Sunset, Inner Sunset, Park Merced, Excelsior, Castro, Union Square, Potrero Hill, Bayview, Polk Gulch, Pacific Heights, Japantown, Upper Haight, and Glen Park.

Xfinity’s Response and Timeline

Xfinity's outage map indicated that the majority of these disruptions were due to "network damage." Initially, the company estimated service restoration by 1:10 p.m., but this was later revised to 8 p.m.
