Comcast's spokespeople aren't saying it explicitly, but Comcast service representatives are giving some service refunds to customers which lost Comcast service in California *BUT* still had power or backup generators at their residences.
This appears to be customer satisfaction refunds for customers that complain, not actually based on evidence of a service outage or backup power at your residence.
Since its likely only a few dollars of pro-rated service charges, its may be cheaper for Comcast to earn a little goodwill instead of paying customer service minutes on lengthy arguments.

Most of the wireless/cellular companies had already announced wireless data & voice waivers during the power shutdowns.
