I'm noticing other sites suddenly nonperformant or offline as well (Fitbit, Facebook for two). I wonder if there's some broadband thing going on.

View on HN

I'm getting 50% packet loss on RCN in Chicago and both of the company's support lines give a busy signal when called.

I'm on the phone with Comcast now, but I'm having trouble convincing the guy there's a problem :)

You've got to drop actual technical data on them. Are you seeing complete routes to some destinations and not others? Do the incomplete routes stop inside Comcast's network?

Reddit, Hacker News for two more here.

ditto. all websites started loading slow for me around 12:45 eastern. I'm on Comcast business from South Bend, Indiana

Update: I've created a separate thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15637412

Likewise. Comcast in Atlanta.

Also comcast.

I'm on Comcast, which might explain a lot.

Also Comcast in denver

And Comcast in Minneapolis.

Same here with Comcast in Oregon.

I'm actually having problems on Verizon as well, so I don't think it's just a Comcast problem.

Same on Xfinity in Oakland. What could cause this?!

Comcast sucking?

And Github.
