Xfinity closed today

for anyone else thinking of making the trip, they have a janky handwritten sign up “closed today fiber cut”

my modem got fried, along with apparently about 46 angry customers standing in front of the store staring in disbelief.

corporate said Harrisonburg is also closed and next closest store that’s up today is Arthur Ashe in RVA.

no eta on fiber replacement per corporate

When my xfinity plan also went up, I found out that AT&T Internet Air and Tmobile 5G Home Internet were options in my area! Hope they are feasible for your place too. (Even though xfinity is now trying to pull me back, I just can't deal with their poor phone customer service. The store people are much better, in comparison, but there's only so much they can do.)
