#2Been ongoing for us for almost an hour - was surprised to see it not posted here. We cannot reach any of our US-East AWS resources at the moment. Getting about a 50% success rate on other sites - Facebook (& Co.) pages load but no media displays.

You have to pay extra for fastlane access if you want to go from Comcast -> AWS.

#7I sincerely hope this is a technical malfunction and not a co-ordinated to attempt to take down Comcast's infrastructure by malicious actors, domestic or foreign.
Non-localized outages (especially a coast-to-coast one) are signs of deep faults with the network architecture -- not surprising given the way Comcast is run.[0]

#8Good to know its just not me. I finally had to call it quits and head to Starbucks with the laptop. My home office is in a no-cell signal black hole so when this outage hit, my cell phone goes out too until I drive up the street at least a few houses.
