Over the last couple of days, I have noticed that Comcast/Xfinity trucks have been all over Columbia. I have had my internet knocked out several times. Any idea what they are up to?

Why would Verizon send out Comcast trucks?

Sorry I glossed over the title 😅 but maybe whatever work verizon is doing comcast is as well? Maybe running some kind of new wires?

I can't answer OP's question, but I can confirm that I've had a hard time today with my Xfinity internet today.

I gotta say, I got to thinking about this and I thought, “What a genius idea - sending out trucks that look like your competitor’s. It would create the image that your competitor’s product was always broken!”
Of course, OTOH, name recognition is probably a bigger goal, so you would be defeating that goal. Anyway, it caused me to think about it for an inordinately long time… and I wasn’t even stoned. Lol.

Asked one of the Xfinity guys out there and they said they were updating all the nodes. Not sure what to but that is what he said

Pushing me to change providers. Xfinity has become awful and the bill just keeps getting bigger
