About once a month. Not for very long, but it is an annoyance. Xfinity usually does maintenance between 1am and 2am, and the Internet will be out for about 30 minutes to an hour. About once a year it goes down for at least half a day.
My OS hasn't gone down at all in 20 years. I don't want that to change. If an OS stops working for an hour once a month for maintenance, it's a piece of refried shit.
"Now updating, please wait!"
I mean, technically not "down" but not exactly usable either. ๐
im sorry your ISP is dogshit. I dont think anyone in your area will want to buy this product.
That's the problem. Comcast is famous in the US for being utter dogshit. So is ATT. And that's pretty much our choices.
