Twitter's abuzz with angry Comcast customers tonight, as internet
service is down in Boston and parts of the eastern United States, a
situation the company's since confirmed at its official Twitter
account. Comcast's calling it an unexpected outage and says that
"engineers are finalizing the correction" as we speak, though it's
admittedly been a couple of hours since that tweet. Meanwhile, Twitter
at large seems to have figured out it's a Comcast DNS issue, and have
had some luck switching to alternate servers like Google's at 8.8.4.4.
and 8.8.8.8. Let us know if those work in comments after the break...
assuming you manage to find this post in the first place given the
present state of your connection.
