comcast not working???
me | 04/07/05 | me

Posted on 04/07/2005 5:45:57 PM PDT by hoosierboy

I was wondering if anyone else is having problems with their concast cable internet connection. Thank g-d I can get freerepblic and its slow, but some websites come up and some don't. I ran a virus scan, ran spybot, and renewed my ip address. I tried to call them,but their number is busy which is very absurd for a fortune 500 company. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same?

Look at your Zone Alarm log and see if you're having outgoing "DNS" queries blocked.

So it's just not me.

Look at it this way, if you can only ever get one website again FreeRepublic is the place to be stranded.

I dont have zone alarm. I even set my security on my IE options all the way down and still nothing. Theres definitely a problem, comcasts number is never busy. Every subscriber in the country is probably calling in to complain.

Jimrobs matrix has us now.

Strange that we can get FR but hardly anything else. For a while I couldn't even bring up my comcast homepage and still can't get my mail page.

Not on Comcast, so I'm fine, but here's what the Comcast support site currently says:

I wonder does it have anything to do with the funeral for the Pope? So many TV stations, web casts, cell phones, wireless connections all pointing to and from Rome? Just a thought.

"Connection to the Internet is currently unavailable."


Why am I able to get FR?
