Comcast users in Mass. can’t access Google
Stephen Warley September 26th, 2006
Well, I’m not crazy! eWeek is reporting that Comcast and Google are aware of that some Comcast users in Massachusetts (yup that’s me!) are unable to access Google sites. Another poster on Bostonist says it’s an issue with an AT&T router (I told that to the Comcast customer service rep, but they insisted that couldn’t be the problem). I also have a call into Comcast headquarters. Who knows? What have I learned today? My life is way too dependent on Google (although their services have made my life so much easier). Interestingly enough, when I just logged onto Digg.com this was the top story. The top story on most of the Boston news sites is the Hood blimp crash. Which story do you think most Bostonians really care about?

It wouldn’t work at my office earlier, and I don’t think we have Comcast as an ISP (it’s some local company).

Why on EARTH didn’t Google put some sort of mention of this on its homepage? I could hit the homepage but not the email page.

It’s happening again in San Diego with Cox. I used to have Time Warner up north and it was so much better. Between the internet outages and the lousy cable picture Cox is a rip off.

It’s happening again - this time in mid-west. I am 30 miles west of Pittsburgh with Comcast digital internet service and for the past two days I have not been able to log on to any google services, A HUGE problem for me! I will drop Comcast like a hot potato if this isn’t resolved pronto.
