Hundreds of Miami Comcast customers hit with internet, cable outages
Hundreds of Comcast customers in most of Miami are experiencing internet and cable outages, mostly affecting Little Havana and Downtown Miami, according to the company’s Xfinity outage map on Sunday.
Dozens of other Miami residents tracked by Downdetector, a website that collects outage reports online, said they lost internet service since Saturday night and had since not been restored. Other cities in Miami-Dade County, like North Miami, also lost service over the weekend.
Mindy Kramer, a spokesperson for Comcast in Florida, said one of the company’s fiber-optic cables in North Miami was cut by a Florida Power & Light crew working in the area last night. Kramer said Comcast crews “were on site almost immediately and worked through the night to fix the damage.”
“Services were restored to virtually all impacted customers by around 10 a.m. this morning,” said Kramer, referencing the North Miami outages.
