The first-level CSR I talked to said they'd only consider this an outage (presumably meaning they'd take it seriously) if enough people requested a technician to come to their house. He also mentioned he'd heard talk of horrible ping times to CA. So please do us all a favor and schedule a tech if you're having latency issues. And have your friends do the same. Then if it clears up, just call 1-888-266-2278 and cancel the tech.
I'm in Mountain View (NorCal). Traceroutes to anywhere outside comcast space look something like this, clearly showing the problem is inside comcast.
