comcast has been having problems with the backbone, expect it to be like this for a while.

ALot of times most of my pages will just time out, and then a few minutes later, everytthing will work again.

We had Comcast for a quite a while, and 'fired' them a few months ago for a number of reasons. I do agree though that internet problems were getting worse towards the end.

I work in the same building as one of the Comcast call centers for technical troubleshooting, and in the last week, they've had three nationwide network outages. None have occurred today, which is the first day this week that none have occurred, but the rumors are that they finally got the problem straightened out. It *should* be better (at least for awhile )...

PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

Comcast has been cited as having problems for some time now. Not least because their server security was described by one consultant as 'woeful'. Apparently Comcast's servers are blacklisted as spam sources, because they're so easily hijacked. They're on the SPEWS list. This report also claims that they've had at least one big net outage recently.

Is it just me or is it continuing to be difficult, especially in the evenings for Comcast people? I find it runs well in the AM and even the afternoon, but towards evening, I just can't get on many sites and many things timeout.

As far as I can see, we've got about an hour or so before it gets to be reminiscent of the old dial up - surf and snore.

Thank you so much for posting this. I thought that maybe my computer had a virus or something, because that was the reason why my internet didn't work last time. I feel so relieved now! I hope they fix it though...

Everytime I try to get here it gets worse. It's now 10pm local time and I had to try IE, then Netscape, then finally logged into AOL (over comcast), and while it was slow, FP finally came up.

I hope this doesn't become a regular thing.

It seems once I get here on a session, I do ok, but getting here the first time after being away is tough.

I don't have Comcast, but Verizon does the same thing. Works great from the AM until about 5:30pm, and acts up off and on until about 8pm]:| I wanted faster not slower when I was mostly on!

It was running slower last night....not as bad as it was the first time you posted about it though.

Im not having any problems with it now though. It was working fine when I got up this morning.
