ok, aim just crapped out.
if it's just me then i better starting calling comcast, their service has been so bad recently, I've had 2 major outages that lasted 1.5 week due to the exact same cause. I've just had my cable service repaired 1 day ago. Comcast must be hiring apes to save cost.

The Intarweb has been temporarily disconnected or is out of service. Please try again tomorrow.
 

From the Internet IT people:

There is an outage on the Internet right now. Please be patient, we expect to have the worldwide network up and running within an hour or so. In the meantime, you can call our tech support help desk. Thank you for your understanding, and please continue to enjoy the Internet.

you people are so egotistical. I didn't mean it as if some company owns the internet, but rather curious if there is a DoS attack or some virus that would make certain websites inaccessible.
I know it's comcast's dns server, not the websites' problem. So never mind the question, if you don't want to answer it, then just go away.

Two of my friends use comcast and they've been getting really bad service lately too. It will just cut out at random times on them. I have comcast but I haven't had any problems since about the first month or so. :p Sux for you.

I'll let you in on a little secret.. The ATOT community has been planning on DoS attacking the whole intireweb! Except for ATOT, of course. Which leads you here, now you are trapped forever. Do not attempt to escape.
