@Xfinity At the very least they should do these things:
-Fix outage notifications. They were terrible
-Automatic outage credit
-An apology with an explanation of what went wrong and what they're doing to make sure it doesn't happen again

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

So @quantumfiber had a 48ish hour outage at my house this week. No natural disaster, no root cause given. Just form emails and texts with estimated fix dates 3 days out. No notification when it was actually fixed.

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

@Xfinity I would have accepted and been much happier with an upgrade to a faster speed without a price change. Even if it was for a year. Who knows, maybe I'd love the higher speed and want to pay for it down the road. Also, this costs them literally nothing to offer.

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

@quantumfiber Unless you can tell the crew fixing whatever the problem is to work faster I'm not sure there's much you can do. Needless to say I'll be asking for a significant bill credit when this is over. But I'd rather have the issue fixed than the money.

How does a 3 day Internet outage happen in 2026 @quantumfiber

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

Lots of limbs, including some big ones, down on the border between Arvada and Wheat Ridge. @BianchiWeather

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

@BianchiWeather In "normal" conditions Denver is using 3 runways for landing and 2 for takeoff. Right now they're down to one for each.

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

So @DENAirport is landing 26 and departing 25. Look at this insanity on the ground. Winds 290 at 29 gusting 47. @BianchiWeather

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

It's February 24th. It's 9pm. And it's 61 degrees outside still. This is nuts.

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

@BianchiWeather Already seeing PIREPs for wind shear at @FlyCentennial +/- 15kts. Guessing that won't get any better as it gets further into the day

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

46 degrees in Vail and 37 at the top of Vail pass according to my car. In January. #CoWx

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

Love how @9news just showed Independence Pass as an alternate for an I-70 closure at Dotsero this morning. Better double check your graphic...

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

To celebrate at midnight tonight, a plane should take off from @DENAirport on runway 25 just before midnight and land on runway 26 just after midnight.

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

Almost every single one of these planes on the ground at KCOS (Colorado Springs) are diversions from Denver, likely due to wind shear and severe turbulence reported in PIREPs near @DENAirport. @flightradar24

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

I know it's windy AF, but is it blizzardy? Or was that just the closest option in the "reason the train got cancelled" drop down... @BianchiWeather

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

@liftblog Probably because there's no snow

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

Lots of Lenticular clouds. Looking northwest from about 4 miles east of Centennial airport at 7500. @BianchiWeather #cowx

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

@UPS Luckily whoever ended up with it moved it to my door a day later.

[Jake Esau @JDELarzius]

Nice job @UPS, you missed by two streets. Hopefully I have a nice neighbor that brings it to the correct spot because your chatbot was useless for this scenario.
