[Discuss] Has Comcast broken the internet?

[lconrad at laymusic.org (Laura Conrad)]

I can send mail and read mail and news and do rsync's and pings, so
there can't be anything wrong with the physical connection.  But for the
last two hours, I haven't been able to use any browser to get to any new
webpage.  I'm pretty sure the ones that are still displaying are in my
cache.  In other words, nntp, smtp and ssh are all working fine, but
http seems to have gone on vacation.

On my android phone, I can do a google search when I'm using t-mobile
3G, but not when I set it to WIFI, which is using my comcast connection.
I can ssh into my dreamhost account and run lynx with no problems on the
sites I'm having trouble with from my home computer.

Is anyone else having trouble?  If so, have you reported it?  And if you
did, would you guess saying, "Nntp, smtp and ssh work and http doesn't,"
would be better or worse than saying, "The internet is broken?"

anything connected with society except that which makes the roads
safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and old men and women
warmer in the winter, and happier in the summer.
