Have you been getting your email today?  Mine is down and when I call I get a recorded message saying they are experiencing heavy call volume and my wait time may be long.  My internet works (obviously) but email has been kaput since about 2pm.

What's wrong with using comcast for personal email? Maybe I missed the memo?

Glad I'm not alone and it's not just me.


edit - so I'm assuming their email service got hacked which means I can expect even more spam spam spam spam....

I have a [email protected] email address.  So does my wife.  Down since this afternoon.  Which sucks because I am waiting delivery of a $2K road bike I had shipped and waiting on the UPS email to notify me as to when it is scheduled to arrive so I can be sure to be here when it does.

When you change ISP's or when Comcast sells your area to another provider (they were going to do that before the merger fell through this year, notably Chattanooga and other areas that were surrounded by Charter) you will lose your email address. Google or Microsoft/Apple will be here a lot longer than most people stick with an ISP.
