Comcast is down againFriday, April 18, 2008 by Dave Winer. For the third time in three days, my Comcast service is out. I'm posting this using my EVDO modem. The first time it was deliberate. The second time they say it was natural. I'll let you know what it is this time. I've twitted comcastcares. PS: These are the first outages I've had in almost 2 years living in this house. |
