We had a Comcast Outage here in Algonquin, IL today. Our Digital Cable,
High Speed Internet, and Digital Phone Service were all out, earlier today.
Anyone else have the same Problem?

I live in the UK, and have seperate providers for each.
This way, things don't completly break down when one service goes down )

Kevin, your outage was most likely a local event and not widely felt. By the
way I live in the same state as you, and not too far down the road from "The
Chain of Lakes" area, but my service is wide open west
and have experienced no problems.
I have noticed thou, that every time a new TPS or internal build of Vista
comes out, I can hear you screaming from my place, and I don't even have my
computer on.

Regards

on the drive got corrupted?

What was very weird is that when we tried to call Comcast (from a Neighbor's
House) at 1-800-com-cast, all we got was a Busy Signal.
