The answers are there. We just have to look for them.

Every day, about 9:00 a.m. the spotty internet coverage saga continues. A call to Comcast only results in frustration. Today, the heavily accented lady on the recording said "Vee know the service is out in your area and vee are twying to correct the problem." Now, this "problem" has been occurring for the last 9 months -- and you can't figure the sh*t out yet? I do not know what to do to get good internet service. I don't know what company to go with. I thought about one of those satellite cards that work anywhere. Comcast is simply unbearable. Why am I paying $54.99 for bad service? Comcast is out AGAIN.

It will go out for just long enough to interrupt connection, then boost back up. This wouldn't be a problem for websites, but when you play online, its the most frustrating thing on earth (btw, only computer and only person online, so you can't claim that it is bandwidth issues). Also, we have had 17 technicians out here in the passed 11 months, and every single one has said it is a different comcast issue, but none of them are ever resolved. The problem has also spread outwards from my neighborhood to the extent of about 5 miles in every direction for some houses with the same issues, and still, nothing fixed. This has been going on for approximately 1 year now. at #21, so how do you explain us having comcasts modem, comcasts services, AND an entire house recabled BY comcast, with a computer more than capable of supporting more than 5x the average computers capabilities, and still have interruptions in service every 3 days?

I call, a recording outage in my area. Really? Thanks for letting me know. I did a live chat on comcast.com (didnt know that had it) Rep tells me they are currently working on the situation, and to not worry its being well taken care of. Really??? Its 5 AM. I dont see any comcast techs outside my building. I bet they are all home sleeping. Just needed to Vent. I pay for DVR, now I missed shows and my kid didnt get to see her noggin or sprout. Thank goodness for DVD players. I'm thinking of cancelling cable alltogether. At least the internets up. Which is odd :) Hialeah, FL

I think this is progress because at least they're admitting the problem.

It is down! At 3:20 PM EST here, and like the commenter above, it would be nice if Comcast told us a little bit about WHY it is down and WHEN they expect it to be back up again. Oh well....
