Time Warner, Comcast Get Adelphia, Comcast Celebrates By Turning Off DNS
from the fun-for-everyone dept
It looks like Adelphia cable broadband customers who are about to get shifted over to Comcast have plenty of outages to look forward to. The same evening that it’s announced that Time Warner and Comcast will jointly devour what’s left of Adelphia for about $18 billion, Comcast had major DNS issues leaving many of their users offline. Of course, in explaining the widespread outage, Comcast is using their favorite phrase: “scheduled maintenance.” That’s the same thing they told me when Comcast turned off my service nearly every weekday last October. I would call every morning and be told that it was “scheduled maintenance.” However, when I asked what the schedule was and if I’d have service the next day, I was told they had no idea. Apparently, it doesn’t become scheduled until it actually cut you off.

Fantastic, I know I’m excited to be swallowed up by Comcast. Though, I have to say that Adelphia has pulled the same scheduled servicing thing too. I guess now I’ll just be getting more of it.
I'm with Comcast
and I had zero bit of trouble doing anything on the Intarnets last night.
I have had problems with their DNS about a year ago being slower than glacial creep.
Wow. I just found out why I didn’t have a problem. I have my two computers hardcoded to go to ns9.attbi.com and ns8.attbi.com, not the ns.inflow.pa.bo.comcast.net that DHCP served my router.
LOL!
Re: PR-RATE YOUR BILL
PRO – RATE your bills people !
If enough people REFUSE to pay for the days of service that they DON’T get , then the scheduled maintenance issue stops.
I pro-rate my bill to Comcast every month.
If service is off for more than an hour, I cut my bill by 1/30th.
Comcast never complains & I never pay full price.

email address
I was given this email to contact the transition people who will decide whether we’ll have to change our email addresses when they swith over to comast. It’s not a give that they will force us to change but I don’t want to go through that again.
