Re: Comcast better have one damn good explanation for this

said by Lincoln998:

This is very disturbing if those Comcast customers were able to reach other web sites, but not able to reach Google -- especially if customers on other ISP's in the same region were able to reach Google.

Isn't Kevin Martin (Chairman of the FCC) saying network neutrality is a cause looking for a problem? Well Mr. Martin, here is a problem.

Comcast better have one damn good explanation for this.
Maybe you should wait awhile before jumping to a conclusion without any facts:
»If you actually read the threads

P.S. I experienced no problems today getting to Google GMAIL, Google NEWS, or Google search and I'm on Comcast.

No doubt, huh?

And with all these "they better not cut off X and not others" posts... I could care less if a site like google or youtube (expecially) were blocked for a while if those sites are bringing the network to a crawl. I didn't subscribe to the Comcast youtube online service, I subscribed to internet access. If a high volume of users are accessing any bw intense site and the entire network is crawling becuase of it, I would EXPECT them to pull the plug until they can figure out what's happening so that the rest of us can use the internet.

Ok, Ted, you're right. The Internet isn't something you can dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes...that get clogged. Did one of your staff try to send an Internet last Friday and you only now got your Internet today?

So are you saying people accessing google and youtube are bringing Comcast's network to a crawl?
