Xfinity customers from California to New Jersey are experiencing extensive outages affecting their internet and cable.

According to Down Detector, there are over 52,000 reports of outages as of Tuesday morning.

A Comcast spokesperson told USA TODAY, “Earlier, some customers experienced intermittent service disruptions as a result of a network issue. We have addressed the issue and service is now restoring for impacted customers, as we continue to investigate the root cause. We apologize to those who were affected.”

KPIX 5 reported widespread outages across the San Francisco area Monday night. The outage led to the Marin County Sheriff to tweet for people to not call 911 to ask why their internet was out.

CBS Philly reported outages across the tri-state area, and the Chicago Sun Times also reported outages across the Chicago area Tuesday morning.

Frustrated customers turned to social media to air out their grievances with the internet company and service.

California state Sen. Mike McGuire tweeted that Comcast was working to get customers back online, but they did not disclose a reason for the outage.

Representatives for Xfinity did not immediately reply to requests for comment.
