jollyrogerParticipantAnyone else in WS experiencing horribly slow internet through Comcrap? There’s supposedly a wide-area outage, but I seldom believe what they tell me.

bailecyclistParticipantOff and on slowdowns are regular with our comcast service, including today.

kParticipantIt’s been brutally slow for 3 days. Tried to use on demand and it wouldn’t even load because the connection was so slow. Can hardly watch a video online it’s so slow!!!

wsgolferMemberAnybody having issues with comcast Internet today? Mine went out 15 min ago here in Seaview. On hold on the phone with them now.

GenHillOneParticipantyesssss, email sign-on page keeps coming up as xfinity business (that I didn’t sign up for) and whatever they’re doing is causing the server to be too “busy”

wsgolferMemberFinally got through, and heard an automated message that said “we recognize your address is part of an area with a service outage” and that they were working on it. I won’t be holding my breath. Off to a coffee shop, I guess.

lazybeardParticipantBoth my boss and a co-worker who work from their homes in West Seattle are down as well (they have Comcast Business class). They are located in the Delridge and Arbor Heights areas.

GoGoParticipantMy mom has Comcast cable (she lives up in Shoreline) and is having a very strange problem with Channel 4 news. The audio blanks out for 1-3 words, then comes back, then does it again. This happens ONLY with Channel 4 and ONLY when the local news is on. Comcast has been out and can’t figure it out. She just got a new DVR. Has anyone ever heard of such a problem before?

cjboffoliParticipantMy service is out here in the Junction.

inactiveMemberTotally messed up here in Highland Park. This time, it’s *not* me or the dying laptop. Been going on here for three or four days.

clark5080Participant24.45 down 3.19 up on speakeasy in Arbor Heights

bailecyclistParticipantOut here in North Admiral this morning (Thursday) for a couple hours. Impossible to get thru to Comcast tech service. Service restored sometime between 10 and 11 AM.

inactiveMemberWell, in the five minutes since I b*tched @13, it’s picked up.
But.
It has been doing this in cycles for *days*. And I couldn’t get to email/login page or even to the speed test thingy…such a p*sser when people pay so much. I mean really, *what* is their excuse?
Grumbling and spitting with frustration.
Grrrr.
October 14, 2010 at 6:07 pm #705381
CarsonParticipantComcast, was also out all morning, back up, 11.4 down, 1.5 up, just flying!!!!
October 14, 2010 at 6:20 pm #705382
inactiveMemberIt’s not fast enough or solid enough yet to allow for online banking. My credit union is bumping off.
Comcast: Fails.

voodooMemberSame here – unusually slow service and sporadic outages for a couple of days. Called yesterday, they did a remote reboot of some type and it came back up. Down again this morning. Called and got an automated message that my address is part of a “known outage” that they are working on. Thank god for 3G!
October 14, 2010 at 7:25 pm #705384
wsgolferMemberBack up for me too. Every time we have an outage like this, I get a little more frustrated at my lack of options. Remind me again why Comcast is allowed to have a cable monopoly in Seattle? I’m too far away from the telco station to get fast DSL, so my only option for fast internet service is Comcast, the worst company in America (http://consumerist.com/2010/04/congratulations-comcast-youre-the-worst-company-in-america.html).

celeste17ParticipantI get online mostly in the evenings and have been so fustrated lately. I will be checking my email and I can read two or three and then it will read “contacting the server…” and when I try to watch one of the shows I like to watch online the screen freezes but the audio will continue. Then the screen will catch up to the audio so I miss what is happening. Sometimes it feels like it takes hours to watch a show that is about 45 minutes.
I thought about switching to clearwire but wasn’t sure how that would work since I have both a hardwired computer and a laptop (wireless).
I do wish that the city would open the bidding and invite other companies to provide coverage.
Why is only one company allowed to provide high speed?
When we were on dial-up there were many choices for internet providers.
I can’t/won’t do DSL.

bsmommaParticipantYahoo’s down. :(
October 14, 2010 at 10:49 pm #705387
