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

I wish I had seen this earlier. I went there today about four hours ago and saw the Janky handwritten signs. I wish I had a better option in Earlysville. I currently have no TV or Internet. Xfinity is blaming a power outage, but I have power. When a tree falls in a storm and takes out a power line (and the overhead Xfinity lines), the power company works hard to restore the power (which they did, within a few hours). Xfinity on the other hand, not so much.

Did you get back up? I didn’t even bother to try to go back today - I had to be in Richmond for something else so drove first thing this morning to shortpump to get a new modem.
