yes I too had the same exact problem both nights. It started around 9 EST and by 11 EST it was ok. In the year and nine months that I have exclusively had comcast cable this is the third night that I lost the internet. I use it a lot.

I have 6mb down 768kb up

What DES said.  Change your DNS settings.
 
If this happens to you again....Go to MY NETWORK PLACES, right click and click on properties, right click on your cable connection, and click on properties, double click on INTERNET PROTOCOL (TCP/IP), Go to DNS, and uncheck "obtain DNS automatically", check "use the following DNS server", and in the box type in a public DNS server, like 4.2.2.1 and close all, reopen a new browser, and you should see results.  This won't be as fast as Comcast, but it will work.  Change it back when Comcast is over it's little problems.  You can search for public DNS servers....use what works for you.

Hmmm, you a smart man. I use RR and havn't had those problems. Luck shines on some of us. :)

So How you do search for the public (no cost?) DNS servers?[/B]

Probably has to do with the FIOS service Rosco.  I noticed some bouncing in my area about a month before they deployed it.

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.


You think this is just in ISPs? It's that way in most Corps. the guy who can talk tech around a conference table and never objects the those truelly STUPID ideas the suits put forth, and when they fail (as they always will) he blames it on one of his poor techs, gets made CIO, while those of us who know what we are doing and speak up are labeled as "not a team player" and get passed over. Seen it SOOOO many times.

Skuzzy is right, if it was DNS those guys should be canned! Me thinks that this is a smoke screen though.

I'm not sure I understand. Why would a mjor Corp knowingly do something that could disrupt service and potentially drive customers to their competitors?

Ignorance Ren, ignorance.

Ren, I do not know if you are old enough to remember this phrase, but "No one ever got fired for buying IBM".  It was the creedo of every IT guy/gal for every major corporation for years.
Even when the product was inept, they still kept buying them.

In the real world, it is has little to do with 'doing the right thing' and more to do with, 'doing whatever it takes to keep my job, even if it is wrong, especially if I can blame someone else'.

I couldnt even drag manual ip's outta them.

I took my  486 gateway/routor to my other job and its running there for the network ... Darn darn darn ...

(Insert Closet digging here ... compleate w/ the bowling ball .. that falls off the top shelf along with the samari sword that follows it)  

ok tossed in my old linksys Befsr41   routor ... ( Skuzzy should remember this  one from AH1 ) it used to do some wierd things in game ... (I felt it wasnt correct thats why I quit using it)

Official Rosco disclamer : I am not resposiable for any ....
Warping
ghosting
cloaking

Oh yeah, i'm just another "old pheuart" and remember the IBM shirt and tie days. Talking about that old stuff heres something I'll share... I used to fly the Marine A4M sim that was housed in a building the size of a triple car garage. The actual cockpit sat of rails to move in and out of the viewing dome and had a foot print of 4x12'. The rest of the building was dedicated to racks and racks which made up the computer.

I remember climbing in and pulling the start handle. When the time came to hit the igniters I popped the throttle and the computer crashed. The technician went over to a "drawer" (think filing cabinet sized and yanked a 10x10" card out of the drawer and said, "I think this is the problem child". I asked him what the card was for. He said, "it's 8k of ram". :D. I was so shocked that the card was so huge yet held so little I laughed. He said, don't laugh. I could probably replace this building with a 1 car garage for the sim and a 386 computer to run it.  As an after thought, the Navy closed down the NAS and the Argentinians showed up looking to buy it. In fact, I flew it for them to look at. To make a long story short, they didn't buy it and I missed the auction where I could picked it up for around $200. Imagine your own Skyhawk in your garage. :)

In the real world, it is has little to do with 'doing the right thing' and more to do with, 'doing whatever it takes to keep my job, even if it is
wrong, especially if I can blame someone else'.

I agree and it's wonderful to be able to work in a job where only I and the captain of the flight signs the flight release. We are the only two responsible for our actions and I do it 30 times a day. There's no passing the buck. It's a job where a professional gets to be professional and not always looking over his shoulder and does it right everytime. Stress levels are high but how else can anyone feel "alive"
