Comcast - Whats the deal?

[Nubli]

Last week, my internet was acting funny. I could only connect to certain sites that were frequently visited. Others simply didn't "exist." I was later told by a friend that Comcast was having server troubles. That was fixed rather quickly.

Now the same symptoms are reoccuring. I'm not sure why it's doing this. I can't get a hold of http://www.comcast.net or http://www.comcast.com to see if they have something posted, so I'm dead in the water. Maybe I should just reformat this piece of junk.

I'm on aim/msn now, so feel free to talk to me there if you know anything.

ya I know what your saying, me and my friends have comcast and we get random times when our internet goes completely out, really makes me mad :mad:

It's not like Comcast to do this. I had 100% uptime (when certain problems were fixed out.) Only once did I ever wake up and find that the internet or cable TV wasn't working. This was fixed in 20 minutes.

Of course, I still can't view their site. Can someone else go to http://www.comcast.net or http://www.comcast.com and see if there are any news alerts?

I couldn't find anything on thier site about downtime.

Update:

Strangely, I can connect to more sites with IE.

Does God hate me or what?

It could be a problem with your browser, I use firefox and it stopped me from using the internet even though i had a connection. I dont know if this helps, Because im on a completely different ISP living in england and all.

Well it's working again.. PoS. Can't wait for my new computer.

You are aware that your computer has little to nothing do with how good and/or bad your internet connection is right? You could have a $10,000 uber server but if you had dial up it still would not change your page load times or uplaod/download times one bit.

Well maybe if you had a faulty card it would help to get a new computer but even then it would be more economical to just replace the card then buy a whole new system.

Friend said it might be a DNS problem with Comcast. Ahh well. Even the greatest companies can't keep a 99% uptime record.

I have the same problem with comcast. My friend said it might be a DNS problem also.
