anyone using Comcast having trouble with the DU site

[Phred42]

or is it just me?

location: N IL.

Just asking

[babylonsister]

1. YES! TX checking in. I thought it might be DU having problems. nt

[marmar]

3. I think it is DU.....there seem to be some bugs buzzing this morning.

n/t

[livvy]

2. I did a bit ago, but it's ok now. SE Michigan. n/t

[RC]

4. DU apparently had problems.

[hobbit709]

5. Not just comcast

Must be DU server hanging. My ATT DSL and neighbor's Roadrunner both are also hanging on DU-everything else zips.

[Phred42]

6. Look at this thread - It's NOT just DU

7. My Comcast Always Is ComSpastic...

I'm also in Northern IL...and I'm never sure if its Comcast or Windows Vista that screws up more. Today doesn't seem out of place...but I've caught Comcast screwing up in the past. Today it's slow, but from what I see, it's nothing more than usual.

8. Comcast subscriber here, and YES I am having problems also.

Western PA.

Comcast has been a total mess lately. I would switch in a heartbeat if there were a viable alternative. Between their dumping of MSNBC and crappy internet service, I give them a D-.

[colorado thinker]

11. WHAT???!!!

Dumping MSNBC? Please explain further. I'm still getting MSNBC on cable, what are you referring to?

[PA Democrat]

32. Comcast moved MSNBC from channel 31 (included in their basic cable package)

to channel 183 which is available only if you subscribe to their higher-priced digital service. We have digital on one TV in our home, but not the others. To watch MSNBC on the other TVs I would have to pay for a digital converter box which I don't want due to the size and the cost.

[Phred42]

34. Yep - they intend to do this everywhere

It's all Olbermann's fault

If KO had stayed on the right like Tweety, Ol' Slo-Joe and the rest this wouldn't have been necessary.

:rofl:

[timtom]

9. Yes.

southeast Florida. Just DU.

10. Count Me In From Colorado This Morning

Took me about 5 minutes of fiddling before DU came up; all the rest of my bookmarked sites came up without a hitch....

[elocs]

12. I use Charter with Camino on my Mac and DU took forever to load.

Other sites came right up.

[onehandle]

13. Comcast has been ultra slow for everything since yesterday.

Probably revenge for the ruling.

[notadmblnd]

14. I had a problem with it for about 15 minutes earlier

It just kept attempting to load the page. I went and took my shower and everything seems fine now.

Mich here.

[Bright Eyes]

15. Yes, in New Jersey.

It's been on and off for a few hours. DU is the only website that's been effected for me.

In fact, it went out again when I first typed this up.

[HughMoran]

16. I did all morning 'till now

I'm baaack :)

[many a good man]

17. No Comcast -- still had problems

Lost DU for almost an hour. Only website I had problems with.

[shanine]

18. Yes, in Mass

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. I had a problem getting onto DU before but I use Cablevision in NY.

[Subdivisions]

20. I'm on Charter and having problems not just with DU but also

with some other sites. Those other sites will almost completely load and then a box pops up that says "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site (site url). Operation Aborted."

This is the second weekend in a row that I've seen cable internet problems.

[dems_rightnow]

21. Been having problems with Cox as well

It's pretty much just DU for me, so I expect it's a server problem.

[PFunk]

22. I've been having trouble getting on this morning

But I'm on Time Warner so I think it's a problem with the site itself. But I think it's now solved (so far).

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. I think it was DU.

Seems OK now, but was hanging up for awhile. Other sites loaded just fine. I have Comcast, which actually seems to work for me, most of the time.

[teach1st]

24. Here's a useful service for checking sites

Is DU down for everyone or just me?

http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

I've been having sporadic problems with DU on IE and Firefox since 6 am on Roadrunner. It seems like some DNS difficulty, but who knows?

[teach1st]

25. Now it looks like...

...downforeveryorjustme.com is having some difficulties.

[woo me with science]

26. Seems to be the DU server.

Not on Comcast here, but have been having trouble, too.

[lonestarnot]

27. Tee hee. Firefox works!

[seabeyond]

28. sudden link, having problems..... n/t

[DeepModem Mom]

29. I'm getting the board, but can't get any Journals. nt

[hisownpetard]

30. Yes, in MA. Problems all morning.

[maveric]

31. I have Cox Com and am having problems.

Whats the gig here?

[burythehatchet]

33. I'm having no problems. Comcast is a known violater of net neutrality

I dropped Comcast a couple of years ago.

[Phred42]

35. Good for you - I'm headed that way myself

[PassingFair]

36. Yup! Couldn't get here from my "favorites" bar....

but I had no problem when I TYPED in the URL....
