Using Xfinity / Comcast here and I had been down for 2 days. I also tried the Lake Miona Rec Center. There I was able to connect there yesterday at about 3:00 using Windows 7 but not Windows 8. Now that is really odd. All other web sites worked properly using either 7 or 8 and yes I rebooted several times. Same lap top set up for dual boot.

Smart phone using Tap-A-Talk was also down today and it uses the Sprint network.

I'm on Century Link and have not had any issues, other than the occasional 2 or 3 second slowdown, over the last several days.

However, I use Google DNS Servers on my iPad.

Perhaps your DNS settings on your Windows 7 is different from Windows 8 hence the issue between the two.

Perhaps try either Google or Open DNS settings.
