I find that extremely unlikely.

Problems in Knoxville. Can't get to Google or my university website, which sucks because I have homework to do.

Currently here in St. Paul, Minnesota my connection is horrible!

I did try to call their 1-888 number and it said that they have a service outage.

I am able to surf some sites after a bunch of failed attempts, but then if I go to another site it all goes bad again.

Well, I'd show you the chat logs and the phone call logs and the three invoices from the technicians who came out here, but I really have nothing to prove. In the last month I can guarantee you I've had more downtime than uptime.

How convenient, the 888 number is "busy" right now. I really wanted to place this order online tonight before the sale ended, now I'm doubly pissed.

4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 do work. I'm wondering if I should just keep these DNS servers? Does anyone know if they are actually faster?

They had a plant flood in NJ according to the Comcast techs. That might be part of your problem.

You wont, they pulled the line. Even if you get thru past the busy signal and navigate thru the menu it will auotmatically disconnect you

Do you blame them? They obviously know there's a problem. Answering 150,000 phone calls from people saying, "tha intarweb is broke, you suck" won't help them fix it.

Nah I just found it funny. Comcast has been pretty good to me so far.
