Here's a 206.16.60.38 for you. It took me five minutes to get to the forums (multiple page not available screens). Everything else on the Internet is working fine for me.
stupid intertubes being all messed up..... :frown:
i wish I had run pingplotter before to various places under good circumstances so I could compare... I have no idea how to interpret it now, except seeing packet losses at almost every hop CANT be good :)
which btw, is it normal to see route changes almost every 5-10 seconds?
just got off phone with comcast, couldn't make it above call center boy's supervisor, who assured me "they're working on it"
they did at least have aces high 2 listed as 2000-6000 users affected :)
I'm guessing they won't be calling me back within 24 hours then. :rofl

<--- sent an e-mail to Obama this morning suggesting the creation of a Cabinet Level post: Internet Czar,
Skuzzy I hope you don't mind me mentioning your name :devil
I tried calling and requested tier 2 help, the fella didn't transfer me but continued to try and "fix" the issue. Comcast is so helpful!
So to make a long story short....
As far as I'm concerned the dude at Comcast can eat a fat wang (or other creative explicatives you can think of).
I called em up to report the issues, he tried some stuff, and then he rebooted my cable modem remotely which disconnected our call. He calls back, tries a few more things and then when he couldn't determine the problem....
"Sir? Are you there sir? Awww man....did you put me on hold?"
I responded no, that I was still there and can hear him.
"Can you hear me sir? You didn't put me on hold did you?"
I responded no, I can hear him, and that he's not on hold.
"Due to unresponsiveness I must terminate this call, if you continue to have issues, call 1-800-Comcast"
I was a raging, pissed off, mushroom cloud laying (more explicatives here that I won't mention) at this point and decided I'd better do something else to avoid saying something to Comcast that i'd regret. I can't believe he pretended I put him on hold to avoid the issue. He had my number, and he'd called back once already, he totally could have called again.
I plan to contact them today and explain my issue and circumstance.

See »forums.comcast.net/comcastsuppor···id=17159 if you would like to track this. Here's what I posted there:
World of Warcraft Issues --> Comcast Assisting to Help Resolve
We have numerous reports from customers who play World of Warcraft (WoW) of performance problems. We have seen this here @ »forums.worldofwarcraft.com/threa···geNo=205 (as of this time, an amazingly long 205-page thread) and here @ »[Connectivity] Disconnecting from Warcraft and several other places like this »www.inquisitr.com/12664/comcast-···t-users/.
We proactively made contact with Blizzard Entertainment, who developed and operates WoW, about a week ago. An examination traceroutes from their forum and which they shared with us indicate that this is not an issue on our network, but in the path between the Comcast and Blizzard's Dallas WoW servers. Latency has not been demonstrated coming from any parts of the Comcast network. And for the avoidance of doubt, we are no way throttling or blocking WoW traffic.
The forum data also shows similar performance problems with several other providers customers trying to reach Blizzard. We continue to make ourselves available to Blizzard to assist them in this issue. We are also proactively working with the various networks between us to attempt to resolve the issue.
Regards
Jason

Hey all, this is probably very basic for most of you, but how and what do you have to do to run a ping plot?
Thanks
Fios , Since it is FIber runs directly on all verizon controlled equipment
I do not beleive they use either l3 or att
I had fios for 2 years and beleive me i was hitting 80 plus frame rate
ISP and frame rate ain't remotely connected, FWIW.
could possible be because of me. At about the 13:00 hour, I logged onto Comcast live chat. After about half an hour of trying to convince them that there is an issue from level3 to att.com, they finally did a traceroute to 206.16.60.38 from their location. The tier 3 tech typed back that they do see the problem and will escalate the issue. I also was on ventrillo with a squadie at the same time he was doing the same thing. Perhaps they got the message? I don't know, but would like to think so. I was getting 323 ms at the att.net, now its around 80 ms.
dustoff :salute
Can you guys post what your symptom's are
Like what is your computer doing .
My system hiccups through out the GAME and lately its been just locksing up but it was doing fine last week
Is thiswhat everybody else on Comcast is experiencing?
Thanks
No. We (I) lose UDP then get disconnected. Your problem sounds like either a heat or power issue. It could also be caused by programs running in the background but the first two are more likely.
Besides it being a monster I went from XP to vista premium two weeks ago .
BUT perhaps I will re-vert back to XP
Richyo, first tier support at almost any large ISP is only going to work on the local Internet connection. For something like this, they are worthless.
Yeah, you know what they told me when I said I wanted tier 3 support? They said this is the only support available. :lol Then they told me the only thing they could do is send out a tech, hopefully one that speaka da Eeeengleeeesh, and he could check my problem. :lol And if he found no problem, that is if I can get online, they would have to charge me. :lol
I told her the entire gaming community knows what the story is and I know your just blowing me off.
My God what a lousy company. After X-mas Im going to have to make some kind of move. I just have to much going on right now.
By the way, for those who want to contend it is an AT&T issue.
First off, if it was an AT&T issue, it would effect every player, regardless of which ISP they were coming from.
Secondly, if it was a fat-fingered route table for Comcast being propagated from AT&T, it would be in Comcast's best interest to get it fixed.
Thirdly, if it is a fat-fingered route table in Comcast, for the AT&T block of IP addresses, they are still the only ones who can fix it.
Does it mean AT&T is not to blame at all? No. It means the both AT&T and Comcast need to be told about things like this so they can finally get together and fix it. Pointing fingers is really an exercise in futility in these types of problems.
The problem with both of these companies, is their arrogance is just as big as they are. They will not pay attention to one user who is having a problem. That is why it takes a flood of calls to make things happen. In their minds, they can do no wrong at all. They will always put the burden of proof on the end user when there is a problem.
