Yes, it's out in Bonita.

Off here in Hadley too! It's probably out for all Comcast customers!

Out in St James also

Comcast has been out for at least the last 3 hrs. Anyone know why.
Can't get through to them via phone.

Comcast is out in Tall Trees at 5:41PM

At 5:44 PM Comcast was restored to Tall Trees

It just came back on in Hemingway.

we just got our cable and internet back..It was out for 3 hours ..My mother lives in Fruitland Park and her's was out also..

Back on in St James

It was in SilverLake too...

We've lost our Comcast telephone six times in three months. Can't believe there isn't
an option for going to another company for TV-Internet-Telephone.

Did they explain why?

This is what I've talked about on other posts. Comcast is reliable most of the time but when it does go out, it's for several hours at a time and usually with no explanation. DirecTV may lose the HD signal for a few minutes in heavy rain (it's rare to lose the SD signal) but that doesn't happen that often. DirecTV has better picture and a much better DVR.

We switched from Comcast to Directv in 2008 when we still lived in Baltimore, and I would never go back. The final straw was Comcast went out on a Friday and didn't come back in service until Monday, and we had no updates the entire time.

When we moved to TV we brought our boxes with us and they gave us Showtime/Starz free for six months. We use Century Link for telephone and internet. For $59.99 a month we get telephone with unlimited long distance, caller ID and call block and internet with 10 Mbps download speed 'to the curb', meaning there is no modem. You plug your computer or router directly into the wall outlet. With tax it comes to about $75 a month for telephone and internet.

Our Directv bill is about $110 a month, but we get about 130 channels in HD, including 8 HBO and 8 Cinemax and a lot of sports programing. It all costs more than Comcast but you get what you pay for. When football season comes we'll be watching any game we want on Directv with NFL Sunday ticket, that's not available anywhere else. This year it will cost $199 which you'll pay over a 6 month period.

Just call Comcast and complain that your TV service was out for the day and they'll credit your account.

Has everyone noticed that TV service went up 26% this month. Internet Service will be going up soon too. This has got to stop. :cus:
