A Comcast spokesman didn’t have details on whether the company would offer refunds for the outages. The spokesman also did not give the total number of Xfinity customers affected.
“Today's severe windstorm has caused numerous commercial power outages that have affected Comcast customers as well as impacted our plant in some areas,” spokesman Walter Neary said in a written statement. “In Seattle, there was a power outage at our ‘head-end’ or physical data center facility, responsible for the distribution of our services to the Seattle area.
