Comcast Outage

Nothing like waking up in the morning, making coffee, sitting down infront of the computer and not being able to access half the internet. I can get to a couple of sites, but the one i want to hit the most: http://www.mythos.com, i can not.

I have been on hold with Comcast for over 35 minutes now...

Agh, it's happening here too, near Philadelphia.

And here too, in New Jersey.

Comcast help desk says "widespread service disruptions" affecting 7 states. Couldn't tell me what the problem is. Couldn't say when it would be fixed.

We need to talk with regulators that internet access is "mission critical" and de facto monopolies need to run their business accordingly. We need information and regular updates.

The problem was with their DNS servers. Using the XBbrowser, which uses the TOR network of open relays/proxies around the internet), I could successfully access sites I couldn't normally access via comcast.
