I used to have comcast cable internet service. I was getting about 5% packet loss pretty regularly and called to complain. They pretty much told me to **** off saying that the 'average' customer doesn't complain about packet loss so they don't investigate the problem.

Quit using comcast, and see if you can get speakeasy DSL.

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

I say,

Dude have you ever worked at a LARGE ISP or Networking Center? The people at the top are there because of their social skills, not their technical abilites. Every dotcom job I ever had (about 6) my boss was a dumb mofo.

It seems to be the corporate way. Start a company with a couple of brilliant minds. They leave and the positions in the company are filled by friends and freinds of friends with little or no bearing on their skills. Eventually everything implodes and the company goes under or gets it sh*t together.

Because you are absolutely right, this is simply inexcusable and easily avoidable.

Quite right g00b. There is definately some level of incompetency at work there. DNS is just something that does not go down, unless there is a major DOS attack going on at the ROOT servers and that is not the case here.

Change your DNS servers to public servers and problem solved.

Here in NJ I have not had any problems at all. But they are doing work on upgrades for speeds 4 times faster than the 1.5
If you check there site they will tell you if its done in your area and you have to reset your modem. Also know someone that works with them and they say the are going to goto fiber optics and it will be 1000 times faster

not sure how long this will take

Its not just comcast mars. Or is charter part of comcast?

"Its not just comcast mars."

i find the earth service to be a bit more reliable...

to much freaking word play in this thread...

"There is definately some level of incompetency at work there."

maybe they discovered that by randomly shutting down there servers for a couple hours, they can save thousands on electricity...
