Yeah, I guess you’re right cal. If Internet is down these days, I don’t even bother to call. I’ve been told it takes three complaints before they will check into any problem, but I don’t know how true that is. Anyway, if it is true, I won’t be one of the three that calls. 🙁

Thanks Joe for the link. It was weird because some websites I could access and others I couldn’t. If I did a Google search, half the ‘hits’ worked and half didn’t.

Right now a friend of ours in Fremont is having intermittent trouble.

Thanks for the link Joe. We experienced the same outage here in Fremont and pretty much duplicated what Allen went through. The odd thing for us was that our Roku was streaming fine through our wifi, but my desktop and my wife’s Kindle were sluggish. When I was able to do a speed test, we had a good 55 mbps into our modem. Finally my wife picked up the phone and called and learned of “technical problems in your area”. Also, I had mentioned in an earlier discussion of paying $44.95 for comcast internet. Well, the rate went up a few months ago to $66.95. The $45 was only a “step” increase, and I have now reached the real price. THIS is the real outrage!
