[Achtung]

Anyone else been dealing with these clowns over the past week?

"Comcast on Thursday confirmed that its high-speed Internet service experienced another temporary outage Wednesday evening, marking the third system breakdown in a week."

Thanks, Comcast, for reminding me why I switched my television to Dish Network four and a half years ago. Sadly, you're the only viable option for cable internet in my area. :rolleyes:

Yup. Annoying, but my only local option.

When it goes down, I change my dns settings. No prob.

199.166.28.10 (PS0.NS2.VRX.NET) - Atlanta, Ga
199.166.29.3 (nl.public.rootfix.net) - Nederlands

I'm going to venture a guess it happened again last night. The symptoms seem to be the same as previous times...but maybe it was just my hookup.
