Anybody else hit with this Comcast outage?

[flowomo]

Comcast says it's affecting states in the east. I can get DU and a few other sites, but most sites don't respond. VOIP and e-mail also out. What's going on in your area? Is it just Comcast or the internet itself?

1. Comcast user here.

It's working fine (COlorado)

[flowomo]

3. yeah, he gave me a list of states: NC, PA, NJ and some others..

thanks for the info.

[graywarrior]

2. So far, I'm good.

I'm in Sarasota FL.

I despise Comcast, BTW. Their tv commercials are the worst on the planet.

4. Yes. Exactly the same symptoms, and my father is having it also. (Both in SE PA)

Called Comcast and got the same message. Strange that certain sites (eg.DU, dKos, Truthout and Alzheimers Caregiver Forum) are all working very well, but most other sites are down or too slow to use. What could cause this?

[flowomo]

6. nodes --

whatever that means really. But that's my guess.

[Kahuna]

5. Yes!!! Whew! Now I can stop freaking out. Seems, I get DU with

no problem though. :wtf:

On edit: VOIP seems ok. TV okay. Just the internet for now.

[flowomo]

8. yeah, but if you can have only ONE site... this one is the one...

:)

but I need the phone and e-mail back!

19. DING DING DING! Flowomo, you're our grand prize winner!

...but if you can have only ONE site... this one is the one...

I SHOULD be pissed because I can't get to the web site to record the hours I work, but I WOULD be pissed if DU wasn't one of the sites I couldn't access!

7. I'm forced to use it here in TX; it's working. nt

[woodsprite]

9. I'm in Delaware and seem to be fine unless I'm

going to one of those states. I tried Accuweather first thing this morning, and it's out of State College, PA. I couldn't get it to come up. Couldn't get to a friend's site either.

[flowomo]

10. maybe something to do with Obama and Clinton being here in PA?

they broke the internets! OMG! This primary must end!

11. It is a program called SORBS. Google it and find out about it

Here is the main link......http://www.au.sorbs.net/

I have been fighting them for this past year and can't get anywhere with them.

[flowomo]

12. LOL -- I'd love to go to that link.... but I can't!

thanks, though, I will try another source.

[enough]

13. Right now we can't go there (net not working) --

What's it about?

[Hawkeye-X]

26. I know the author of SORBS.

Are you having trouble with them? Maybe I can help.

14. I've noticed it too.

Seems like everything important that I need to access is not working!

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. That's Comcastic!!!

No problems here out west, and I have overpriced, poor service Comcast too!

[dogday]

16. I have comcast and I can say they truly suck... Never thought

I would see the day I wanted Warner Cable back... You are correct, we are experience short outages, I would say 30 or 40 a day and it is affecting the internet and our ip phone...


Another problem with Comcast is that they constantly harass us day and night about more services, like we would buy any more crap from them...

We have satellite and we are seriously thinking about changing our Internet service provider...

[rocktivity]

17. Same here--I can log in to about half my bookmarked sites

I can't get my Comcast e-mail, but my personal server e-mail and web page still work. More important, my VOIP (Vonage) still works because I deliberately chose not to make it part of a Comcast "bundle."

DU's coming in fine, which I guess means we owe a thumbs-up to the Admin crew!

18. my VOIP is AT&T's CallVantage...

and it's down... probably tangled in the dead part of the 'net

[BlooInBloo]

20. Hahahaha - um, it's not "the internet itself".

[flowomo]

21. aww...c'mon... I meant something in the overall network, not just Comcast

affecting more than one ISP. but you're right.... a dumb way to express it.

[rocktivity]

22. The crisis seems to be over in New Jersey, at least.

I can now link to all my bookmarked website and retrieve my Comcast e-mail.

23. 7 states -- and a deafening silence. No press release notifying. .

. . .the public. Even comcast reps apparently kept in the dark (one poster to http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3111003&mesg_id=3111079">another thread was told the problem was on the customer's side -- that they needed to come get a new modem.)

[depakid]

24. Seems like every week there's an outage

and it's on comcast's side here in Oregon, nothing affecting the basic infrastructure.

27. I agree Comcast sucks.. but Qwest sucks even worse.. can only get 256K DSL

But I saw some work in my area that tells me that they are working to upgrade the lines. The minute they do, bye bye, Comcast!

[LeftyMom]

28. Mine was out Friday for a few hours, and slllllllllllloooooooooooow yesterday.

Everything seems to be fine right now.
