[Connection] Insight -> Comcast switch, connection problem.

Hello,

Last night around midnight, my area (Central IL) was serviced for the switch over to Comcast from Insight. Since that time, I am experiencing an odd problem; I am unable to ping, tracert, browse, or connect to www.worldofwarcraft.com.

Similar problems have been experienced by others, and based on their solutions I have tried a number of things, including: Getting a new IP address, flushing my DNS, changing DNS servers, ect.

I can tracert, ping, and connect to everywhere else just fine. Help!

I'm in champaign and I'm having similar issues. I can't reach any University of Ill sites, which is a slight problem because I go there. I can however use a proxy to surf the site.

I also can't visit hidemyass.com.

I had the same problems with secure sites but fixed it by changing the MTU setting in my router to 576 instead of 1500.

Did anyone call the Comcast customer service line?

I am in Rockford, IL. Starting two days ago, I couldn't log in my hotmail account and some of my bank accounts (Chase and Fidelity) even though I could successfully logged in others like Citibank. I wonder if anybody else had a similar problem or have an idea about what was going on with my computer.

Re: [Connection] Insight -> Comcast switch, connection problem.

I don't know about Chase and Fidelity, but Hotmail (actually, Windows Live, in general) had their own problems for much of Tuesday, Feb. 26; so that may be unrelated to other service problems you have seen.

Peoria here, and we were left without connectivity for a few hours on Tuesday because the modem was being crappy during the switch - finally came back but everything has been INCREDIBLY slow, taking 45 seconds or much longer to open a simple site.

The speed issue is affecting everything, even BBR. But haven't had any trouble logging into any sites.
