Access problems?

by Goldy — Monday, 3/30/09, 11:09 am

I’m hearing scattered reports of problems accessing HA and Publicola today.  Everything is currently working fine via my Qwest DSL and my iPhone’s 3G connection, but Darryl can’t access it via his Comcast service at home, and I’ve heard from folks in Olympia with similar problems.  Not sure what’s going on, but it’s likely a DNS issue of some sort.

UPDATE:
My hosting company has provided the following response:

There is a connectivity issue with an upstream provider in California. Your web site and email service is up and running, but you can’t access it because of this problem with the upstream provider. It is only affecting certain isps and should be fixed soon.

Locally, this appears to be affecting mostly Comcast customers and some local government networks.  Not much I can do about it.

    I can get in and post, but it’s “sticky” — slow to load, slow to upload comments, like there’s molasses gumming up the electrical connections.

    But then, isn’t it always slow for you and your 1940’s era Eniac?

    You didn’t pay your added “access fee” to the telcos, I bet. You paid for access, you need to pay more for continual access. Outages will continue until you pay up.

    I’m using Comcast and lost the blog for several hours. No surprise that the problem affected Comcast.

    As a Comcast user, tried to browse at around 11:45 to see what my favorite miscreants and misfits were up to. Couldn’t get on and gave me the MS error message.

    However, as of 4:30, everything is hunky-dory. Problem fixed?
