I know this has to be comcast. I have had this happen several time. The real funny case is when Chrome tells me that it can not open Google!

A few minutes ago, I was searching using Google, and Google Crashed….yeah right. Comcast probably would try to blame this on Google. LMAO.

BTW – every time this happens with any site – I grab my evo 4g, and pull the site up fine. Is that not proof that Comcast is “blocking” sites somehow?

I have also experience the periodic slow speeds.

Same problem. Two comcast customers say they can’t access the site yet the ping service at downforeverorjustme (com) says the site is working fine. The FCC should look into this issue.

Same issue here. Site loads fine except when trying to access through an Comcast connection. It appears that they are not really BLOCKING as much as delivering the content very slowly. Anybody know what this issue is? Maybe we have to pay a toll to Comcast to allow our sites to load!

While I do not subscribe to Comcast, I have been notified by multiple Comcast subscribers that they cannot view my website, which displays fine through all other ISPs. I have shared your comments with those who have notified me of an issue, but like Philip, I am concerned about all those Comcast subscribers who will never view my site and services.

I am having the same issue. My web site (the site I go onto all the time and edit all the time and need clients to view) is being blocked at my house and the ISP is Comcast. I can go to somewhere else and it works fine. My quick solution is using another ISP. Problem Solved! Though I don’t like the idea that another Comcast user might not be able to see my site. First I had to worry about IE browser issues, now I need to worry about Comcast. Never again with Comcast!

Had the same problem when I had comcast in Utah AND comcast in New Mexico. It would block certain websites (specifically blogs running on their own servers) and it just drives me crazy!

In regards to OpenDNS’s DNS servers, I use them exclusively and have never had a problem. Very fast and reliable. I am also a comcast customer, and so far the only problems I have with them is my speed dropping out for no reason for days at a time resulting in calls to tech support that tells me I have a signal problem, and they do “something” at the office there, and tell me it should be better. My speed goes back up to normal for a week or more, and then a week or two weeks later it drops back to less than half speed, and the cycle starts over again. Not only do I believe that comcast engages in packet filtering in order to boost stocks, but I also believe that they throttle connections arbitrarily as well.

Thanks Ann,
I came across your post after having the same problem with Comcast in Seattle. I managed to get a new IP by just powering down my modem / router for a couple minutes, and that did the trick.

It’s definitely a Comcast routing issue because the first thing I tried was hooking up to openDNS, and it didn’t work. Of course the only response I’ve gotten to the email support ticket I put in with Comcast two days ago is the automated “Your Message Has Been Received” mail. They are awful.
