NationalI was wondering what was going on with my Comcast internet connection last night and just found this status page.

(Connection to the Internet is currently unavailable. Our technicians are aware of the situation and are working to resolve the issue. This outage was logged at : 4/13/2005 6:47:00 PM EDT.)
Looks like it was down for over seven hours. Almost as bad as NStar electric.
