Nationwide Comcast outage?

Well if they had Comcast they wouldn't be able to let you know since their service is out
I did think about that. Many people use multiple providers/devices, etc.
I have Comcast. Can still get online. Just cannot access comcast email or services.
Did the news report happen to say how they were cut? Sounds like someone is doing a test run on how to exploit weaknesses in our communications systems. Two lines cut that far apart? Can’t both be accidents.
Where did you get the 5:30 time? I can't find any mention of when it's expected to be back on.
USA Today:
"
A West Coast Internet provider says someone deliberately cut three fiber-optic cables connecting its customers to the Internet. "

Looks like it was one line cut somewhere.
"Around 2:43 p.m., a customer service representative with Comcast began replying to concerned users on Twitter telling them that the cause was a fiber from one of Comcast's "large backbone network partners" that was cut."

Western Pa. -- No email, no TV, no phone, do have internet
I will be on the phone with them soon to request a refund for lost service. Comcast charges so much that service should be perfect 24/7.

You will win that argument depending upon how long you were out. Last year during hurricane Irma we were out over a week, called and we got a credit for even a few more days than we were out. Rep asked if we wanted a free pay channel for three months, they gave us Showtime,
Mine is back on now - around 4pm. never lost the internet, only the cable TV. It looks like the stations were being restored incrementally beginning with the major networks (lower numbered channels) and working their way up the line.
Not to pile on but we have Comcast; phone & Internet service were OK, TV services were out for about 3 hours. Usually, it's the opposite.Well if they had Comcast they wouldn't be able to let you know since their service is out
I work IT we monitor outages that may affect services at Penn State
