streetritos Posted April 8, 2005 CID Share Posted April 8, 2005 Did anyother comcast users have major downtime? I know my service went down, and so did a few other friends in my town. But when I called the 1-800 number to find out about it the lines were busy. And I know the call volume from this lil town wouldnt make them that busy. I was just wondering if anyother comcast subscriber experienced this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted April 8, 2005 CID Share Posted April 8, 2005 I didn't have downtime, but my service just started trippin' out on me. I called as soon as it happened. The rep told me that there was trouble with the service in my area and that they were working on the problem. I still had a connection, but it was slow in a major way. That was around 10:00pm. Now, at 4:11am, things seem to be back on par. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senseless beating Posted April 8, 2005 CID Share Posted April 8, 2005 National DNS servers went down at about 5:45pm MDT. They started comming back up around 10pm. Connections were still good (maybe a little slow) but Joe User was lost without DNS. Here in Denver we were providing the IP for google so people could get up and running and use the search to find the site they're looking for.

tugger Posted April 8, 2005 CID Share Posted April 8, 2005 Report on Cnet http://news.com.com/2061-10785_3-5659518.html?part=rss&tag=5659518&subj=news I'm just south of Boston, and I didn't have any outages. I did however notice a few messages in my modem log though. I get those error messages all the time in my SB5100 here in south Florida. They're nothing to worry about. Someone here or on another forum said they'll go away once Bedrock is fully implemented. I never even noticed the outtage caused by the Comcast DNS servers going down last night. I've always found their DNS servers slow, so I've pointed my router to off-network DNS servers, which I've never had a problem with. A number of alternative DNS server addresses can be found here: https://testmy.net/topic-4249 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tugger Posted April 8, 2005 CID Share Posted April 8, 2005 I've been hearing "bedrock" alot on this site. What is it? Basically it's Comcast's new provisioning system.

netmasta Posted April 8, 2005 CID Share Posted April 8, 2005 Thanks for the link. I'm pretty sure that's already happend in my area (Boston, MA). It's a former Attbi region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
