Ever since I logged on tonight, my computer has been S-L-O-W reacting. I have to wait up to a minute for it to go from one webpage to another. This is not normal behavior. Anyone else experiencing this with Xfinity?

It’s happening, isn’t it? See you on the other side.
Only on FR, which is permanently slow now and has been for a very long time, with 504s and taking a long time to load.
FR has been slower than before. I have Comcast cable internet, and it is working normally.
West Coast Comcast/Xfinity normal for me...19ms PING and 450+ Mbps per second down and 41 Mbps up.
FR’s VPS server is very slow with gateway errors right now tho..
I was formerly a Comcast/Xfinity customer for many years and noticed the same thing from time to time. It seems that the reasons for such outages and slowdowns are usually physical capacity and maintenance issues, and sometimes software updates.
Something sure changed, suddenly FR is working fine.
Are you seeing any changes like I have, since you posted the thread?
As a matter of fact, I AM. Somebody is peeking at posts?
I don’t know, but I’m loving it.
Yes.
Mine is working fine. I have xfinity. I’m in Illinois.
This site’s the only site that’s been running slow for me lately. Seems OK right now.

Good luck...mine is fine.

Just getting ready for Standard Time changeover…

Okay here = Salem, Oregon
Periodically, usually early in the morning.
You really cannot come onto a web site that has a global audience and ask if your internet, on your street, is having issues.
Comcast is not a single source; there is no “Comcast central internet source.”
FR is back to being a little slow, better than it has been, but not quick.
We’re on Xfinity internet. It has been fine this morning so far. A couple weeks ago they sent an updated gateway / router. The only site that’s s-l-o-w is FR, but that’s been a problem for a few weeks now.
