It’s always good to wakeup and see your ISP on CNN’s homepage for a blackout

Comcast Blackout, Oh Noes!

Last night I was online during the “problems”. I had network connectivity, but I think the problem was with Comcast’s DNS servers. I could ping IP addresses, but I could not resolve hostnames (via a web browser or dig/nslookup). Interestingly I stayed connected to World of Warcraft the entire time during the problems.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
