If you rely on Comcast for

the provider.
If
you rely on Comcast for your internet service, you probably know that things
are down in a big way for the provider. According to the consumer watchdog
site DownDetector, there are more than 8,000 reports
of outages across the US as of 1:00 PM ET on Monday.
The
site notes that the recent reports of outages mostly concern internet
connectivity, not television or phone service, and mostly originate from areas
like Mountain View, Denver, Portland, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Houston, San
Francisco, the Bronx and Minneapolis. Comcast, a major owner of NBCUniversal, does
business in 40 states and the District of Columbia. The company has confirmed
the issues with its Xfinity internet service, and says that it
is working on a fix.
