Xfinity X1 platform down for the evening

By Diane Hettrick

If you are an X1 customer from Xfinity / Comcast, you probably weren't watching The Voice Monday evening.

Because of an unspecified national problem with the X1 platform, the entire Seattle / Tacoma service area had extremely limited services from about 9pm.

At our house, we had Channel 4 ABC - and that was it. Whatever channel you were on when the outage occurred was where you stayed.

Reportedly, the engineers are working on the system pole by pole and node by node. They think they will be back online by midnight.

Telephones and internet may have been affected in some areas.
