So I call them tonight, because, since last Wednesday my service has been disconnecting constantly. 2 hour outage here... 15 minute outage there and constant sporadic disconnections, I’d say 10-20 an hour. Every time I've called their Tech Supports (7-9 times) I got a generic message from the their phone system that "they are experiencing outage in my area and that call volume was to high and to call back later" and it disconnects me.

I'll be lucky if I can post this...


So I call again tonight because my service goes out for 20 seconds about every 3 minutes... same old thing. So I say, fuck this, I'm calling billing and I'm getting some of my money back. Well I call billing and yeah... it takes about 2 fucking seconds to get someone on the phone there, they are happy as fuck to take your money but won't give you service. So I explain that I'm upset because for the last week my service has been horrible and I'm looking to get some kind of pro-rated discount... listen to what this fucking whore had the balls to say to me... "Sir, we have no indication of you calling over the last few days..." That's about all she got out because I fucking exploded!!!!

anyway... this month is FREE!!!!!!

DNS issue, just change your dns servers to these and it works fine. "4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2"

I worked at a college's IT department and we had 4 comcast T1s and they cant even keep their BUSINESS customers online! Our T1s would go offline for seconds to minutes to hours for no reason! Other times their network would "unpeer" from the rest of the internet meaning we could connect to comcast cable users and anywhere on the comcast network but not reach the rest of the internet. We have been disconnected because some yuppies felt the need to play with the fiber in their office.

They are NEWBIES in the broadband world and they make no attempt to hide it nor correct their problems. We have since ditched comcast and moved to sprint. The only reason we went to comcast was better pricing. well, you get what you pay for.

Change your dns servers to what I posted and it will work fine. If not chose others in the list until you find one that is fast and stable and leave it .

Their nodes are jam packed and are reluctant to set up more. Their increased bandwith upgrade was premature. They also have too may customers. They bought almost everyone.

My solution is to have both DSL and cable. Cable for the hellacious fast download speeds, and DSL for the nice gaming pings.

For those still dialing up, I sympathize.

Same problems here in Kali up near Sac.  Same phone message.

I've been considering dropping them for awhile now.  Looks like this about seals the deal for some satellite or something.

Good luck, I got em too and they have been a problem for awhile now. But no one else has cable or DSL in sac . Cept for SBC. And they laid lines four years ago, less than a block away. Still no service for our area.

Sucks!! Every friggin 15-30 mins we are out.

Same problems in Portland. First time in a few days that I've come home from work and my internet is working. Amazing. Comcast sucks. Outrageously expensive here, too. I wish it was only $40/mo.

Weird, I must be one on the few that have had no problems lately.  We did have a 3 or 4 day stretch where out internet didn't work though a while back, and they had no fucking clue how to fix it.  Luckily, it came back on.  Paying $42.95 a month here.

Thank you God that I don't work phone support for an ISP no more.  Thaaaaaaaaank you God.

The phone monkeys don't know what's going on. Nobody tells them anything.  If perchance they are not a monkey, they're surrounded by monkeys.

Don't scream at the phone monkey

Their DNS Servers went down I think, massive problems in the last week or so nationwide.

I've had Comcast for over 2 years...prior to this DNS issue, it had been down only once, for a couple of hours.  I Don't know what the issue is all of a sudden, but they need to get their shit straight pronto...this up/down/up/down  stuff is for the birds.

Is it happening right around 9pm EST? I have been having a fit over this as well, around 9pm in MI it starts bugging out....on, off until about 11pm.....Truly frustrating!!! I know it's a DNS issue, but trying to tell them that is impossible!!

Tag for the DNS entries for later!
