Their DNS server is fucked up tonight. I’m getting really frustrated. From Friday last week until Tuesday this week our internet kicked off and on for hours on end. I sent them an email and they told me they had “no record of service disruptions at this address.” Meanwhile, I called 3 different times, and each time I called they said there were service disruptions in Pittsburgh and Oakland, but the wait to actually talk to someone was so long that I just hung up instead. So I agree, FUCK COMCAST.

Oh by the way, if you change your DNS server to something other than Comcast’s it will fix the problems if it’s the same thing that mine was doing. (IM works but internet doesn’t)

wwhoah  
please explain to me how Comcast ‘sucks’  
Yes they were having DNS issues last night but to say their service sucks is just ridiculous. I have had this ISP from back when they were AT&T and you know how many time I have called to report trouble on the line? Once! One time in 6+ years is freakin outstanding…and the call was from when the line was first installed on the house!! And how can you possibly complain when on average you download at 400-500KB/sec!!!

I just hate how people immediately just blast something as soon as it has a slight outage, but dont take into fact that the service has been utterly flawless for YEARS!!

My opinion that Comcast sucks has nothing to do with anything that happened in this thread. It’s a very long story, and I’m sure you’ve read it before.
