ot comcast outage

We had a Comcast Outage here in Algonquin, IL today. Our Digital Cable, High Speed Internet, and Digital Phone Service were all out, earlier today. Anyone else have the same Problem?

I live in the UK, and have seperate providers for each. This way, things don't completly break down when one service goes down :o)

Kevin, your outage was most likely a local event and not widely felt. By the way I live in the same state as you, and not too far down the road from "The Chain of Lakes" area, but my service is wide open west and have experienced no problems. I have noticed thou, that every time a new TPS or internal build of Vista comes out, I can hear you screaming from my place, and I don't even have my computer on.

They're not waterproof you know! Not like the yellow duckies in your

bathtub. Frank

What was very weird is that when we tried to call Comcast (from a Neighbor's House) at 1-800-com-cast, all we got was a Busy Signal.

My Question is directed at other Comcast Customers (We got a Busy Signal when we tried to call Comcast at 1-800-com-cast from a Neighbor's House).

Not likely that Comcast would have an outage on a national scale. All was well in Pennsylvania, TV, Internet, and phone.

What is weird is we Never get Outages in our Sub-Division (Unless they are Upgrading something or another), and the 1-800-com-cast Phone Number was Jammed with a Busy Signal.

Not so weird. I would think Comcast would be using there own service, and if the system went down, then theirs would too, Thus the busy signal. Anyway this is not the newsgroup to be dissussing this. I wouldn't be surprised that Comcast has there own newsgroup to post to. God bless Vista 5365. Regards

Mechanically Damaged.

Looks like my previous reply got deleted. Let's try something else...
Describe how an operating system can mechanically damage a hard drive.
