Last night was second night in a row, around 8, 9 oclock, internet service was hosed.

So I try to call and get, "Were sorry our call volume is heavy, call back later." Then other times I would get a ***** busy signal.

Finally around 11:00 oclock I get someone and they tell me that, "ohh we had server problems last night, but fixed the problem. We have people working on it."

So is it fixed or are you working on it?

WTF. What do you think the odds are that I wont have service tonight?

Yup, last 2 nights in Dallas same issue... I could never get through to comunistcast, got a constant busy signal... maybe they switched to internet phones.

My whole city isd having trouble with Comcast service cutting out regularly.

I'm blessed with about 5 service cuts each day...

But I have to say that Comcasty support has been very helpful and thatv they sent out a techniciuan the same day I called who informed me that they are upgrading the network in response to these problems.

They better be, because its mucho bad PR for Comcast to have so many high speed internet problems in the middle of silicon valley.

SF here.

Comcast was down for 1 hour last night. Only happened once before about 3 months ago.

That sounds like what was going on.. My friend said something about the dns servers being down, and there you have it..

Uh, they need to fire thier network admin. What numpty runs a large network without providing roll-over for DNS requests?

That way you can take down DNS servers with virtually no degradation to the clients. duh.

Unless they are using Windows for the OS! Surely not.
