Who lost Comcast???

[CTC B4Z]

My GF's internet went down in Champaign.. than mine went out.. turns out they switched DNS servers. We both had to manually change servers... who else?

 

[nismoz33]

I lost my service down in Lawrenceburg.

I switched my DNS info over to Google's DNS servers. Do you have new DNS info for Comcast?

 

[mertbl]

Lost mine in fort wayne. Out for a bit, but its back up without me having to do anything.

 

[Brandon]

my sister said hers is out. which is funny because it works just fine for me and we share the same connection. think its the operator on her end.

 

[CTC B4Z]

I got nothing new from Comcast.... I'm just running the 8.8.8.8

 

[indykid]

Daughter in Chicago lost her service about an hour ago. Seems like a system problem. Isn't technology wonderful?

Imagine if an enemy decided to start interfering with other communication systems other than the internet????

 

[Designer99]

Lost mine, switched DNS to 8.8.8.8, all good now.

 

[Don]

Mine have been 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 forever. I never noticed anything.

 

[aclark]

Seems to be down in Portage. I can't get a WAN IP on my router or anything.

 

[lawrra]

I was down for 2 hours.

 

[christman]

Google is 8.8.8.8. Best way to go when Comcast takes a dump or you forget to make a payment. Cough cough.

 

[johncarbaugh]

I just got mine back in Logansport. Not sure how long it was down.

 

[Loopie159753]

Lost mine for a few hours in South Bend. Just came back up.

 

[bwframe]

After 3-4 hours, I hit the reset button on the box. Back up.

Our internet went out for a little while last night, here on the west side of Indy. Back up this morning with no intervention required on our end.

 

[IndySSD]

Yeah the Comcast DNS servers in a few areas (Chicago/Michigan) took a dump. If you use manual entry DNS entries, you probably never saw anything. If you have everything set to "auto" then you were probably without web browsing capability for a few hours.

 

[mrjarrell]

Ours went out last night. Took me a while to get it back up and running this morning. Had to reset the router and modem. Not sure that did anything, as I did it last night with no results. Finally, just started up this morning about 7. Stupid Comcast.

 

[mrjarrell]

It made the news out of Chicago. Despite what they said, mine was still out this morning. Wonder if they'll credit my account for the hours it was out? Yeah, a guy can dream.

FIFY - DDOS attacks on DNS servers only suck for those who don't know how or why to avoid them.

Yeah, your Internet wasn't down, the server(s) that resolves Domain names to IP's addresses was.

Once again the media gets it wrong.


Bill Gerth (comcastcares) on Twitter has a few updates, states that it's a DNS issue.

 

[Rob377]

mine went out too, at least on my wife's computer. Mine was set up a long time ago with OpenDNS servers, so no problems there.

No way in hell I'm using Google's servers.
