Comcast Outages Prevent Comcast From
Commenting On Comcast Outages
04/14/2005 01:21 PMLast week, we noted that Comcast was having widespread outage
problems, which they
chalk
ed up to "scheduled maintenance", even though no one was actually
informed of said schedule ahead of time. It turns out that schedule
is pretty crowded, because all week long, there have been
continued
reports of recurring outages all across the Comcast network.
Comcast, of course, continues to be pretty much silent on the issue,
leaving its increasingly fed up call center staff to deal with
incredibly angry customers who feel they're getting no information at
all. How hard is it to admit that they screwed up and they're working
on fixing the problem? Instead of chalking it up to bogus scheduled
maintenance or pretending there's nothing wrong, admit what the
problem is and give people real updates. People would still be
unhappy, but at least they'd feel like the company wasn't ignoring
them. Of course, maybe they can't do that because Comcast staffers
don't have any internet access either...

relocating and didn't want to change any aspect of my service other
than the location. They said that was quite easy and we selected dates
for the change. They told me to hang on to my existing cable modem.

Comcast Celebrates By Turning Off DNS
04/08/2005 12:13 PMIt looks like Adelphia cable broadband customers who are about to get
shifted over to Comcast have plenty of outages to look forward to.
The same evening that it's announced that
Time Warner and Comcast will jointly devour what's left of
Adelphia for about $18 billion, Comcast
had major DNS
issues leaving many of their users offline. Of course, in
explaining the widespread outage, Comcast is using their favorite
phrase:
"scheduled
maintenance." That's the same thing they told me when Comcast
turned off my service nearly every weekday last October. I would call
every morning and be told that it was "scheduled maintenance."
However, when I asked what the schedule was and if I'd have service
the next day, I was told they had no idea. Apparently, it doesn't
become scheduled until it actually cut you off.
