I live in Oakland and my XFinity internet was broken by this, and the cable TV service was not affected. I have an alternate connection through AT&T fiber, so on our mobile devices we just switched to the other WiFi and carried on.
Unfortunately our TiVo Edge uses an Ethernet connection to the XFinity cable modem, and TiVo's OS responds to an internet outage by deciding your TiVo account is closed and it silently stops recording anything, even after the network comes back. It takes a reboot to fix this.
It deliberately skipped recording some things on Sunday night I'd been looking forward to. If I hadn't noticed this morning and forced a reboot it would still be stuck in that state. I am really annoyed that they coded their software like that. It's like withdrawing service the second it can't be verified is TiVo's top priority and they don't even bother trying to restore service afterwards.
