Re: Something was fishy...

I could get to some sites without a problem from S.NJ. But I couldn't get to dslreports.com; nytimes.com; and a few others unless I used a proxy server.

I called Comcast and never got a human being, but I did get the recording saying they were working on a major problem for PA, NJ, DE. Then I could choose to be notified by phone when the problem cleared up. The automated phone call came 5 hours AFTER the problem was fixed.

From traceroutes I did see that the routes I took to dslreports.com were not going thru the normal ibone path. And the alternate route was going all over the place thru the midwest before reaching N.NJ. So they were having routing problems and it looks like alternate routes got so flooded that pulling up a web page was really hit and miss.

"5 hours AFTER the problem was fixed."

Shame on them for not calling you first.

And what spokesman was that? It isn't me as you imply. I have no contacts or affiliation with Comcast and never had any.
