1. It is? It can't be, I'm posting. And my TV is working.

You mean their website? That wouldn't really be OMG! material.

[orleans]

6. it is if you want to check your email n/t

[LeftyMom]

13. Oh, I use gmail.

I can't even remember what my comcast email is.

[merwin]

2. Cable or internet?

My comcast internet is fine in the northwest. We don't have cable, so...

[orleans]

8. i can't get to my email. boo hoo. n/t

[Why Syzygy]

11. Don't know about comcast, but ATT DSL is doing security updates to their email tonight.

[orleans]

12. so can you access your email or is everyone's email down? n/t

[Why Syzygy]

19. Mine was hung up earlier. Don't know about now.

I called and there was a recording. Have you recycled your modem and everything?

3. Get Dish, it's so much better than cable.

I held out with Comcast way too long.

4. Except for when it rains hard... or snows

:)

[tridim]

7. I haven't lost picture since the fall and we had lots of wet snow this winter

I did have to sweep it off twice though.

17. A couple of weeks ago I bounced out of the trailer to see what the

hell was messing up the dish - a deer was standing in front of it -

(I live in an old Airstream and have the dish mounted on a pallet on the ground...)

[Orrex]

21. Sounds like you decided to buck the system

Or maybe make a little extra doe?

[cliffordu]

23. Nyuck, nyuck nyuck....

:P

[newmajority]

5. Working OK here

Both TV and cable modem

9. I believe the OP means Comcast internet, not cable.

Cable is working just fine; the internet site is "under construction".

[orleans]

10. yes. thank you. i just called and the guy said they don't know what's going on

if there was a problem with a server or if they were hacked.

[DJ13]

14. This Site Is Under Construction and Coming Soon.

This Domain Is Registered with Network Solutions


I think they forgot to pay their bill!
:rofl:

15. Comcast.net got hacked... here's the link

[orleans]

16. thanks. i'm reading through it.

i also found this from google:

http://socialitereport.com/2008/05/comcast_email_and_domain_hacke.html

This is what Comcast email users and Comcast.net and visitors say on Wednesday evening when the sites were hacked.

Unknown hackers tapped into the Comcast system, but it appears that the site is back under Comcast control.

A "Page under Construction" message appeared on the main page Thursday morning, but users have reported that the page was previously showing messages posted by Hackers like this screen cap above.

Comcast users weren't able to access their email sign in pages, the main website or any of the company's online features.

This Comcast hacking has left customers wondering how they may have been violated. Could their passwords, credit cards and social security numbers be at risk?

We'll have to wait until Comcast releases a statement to find out.

18. Um...nope.

[bbernardini]

20. Seems to be working now. nt

[bbernardini]

22. Something's still not right, though...

I'm not getting nearly as many e-mails as I normally would. This morning, I had maybe 40 e-mails, when I usually have between 100-130.
