Comcast subscribers in Cambridge and Somerville are reporting they're Internet-less at this hour, although they still have TV. Dani B. reports he got a 10 p.m. restoration estimate.

You suffer from the same ailment that I do.. my name is Kris so I often get confused for a female... I wish I had a dollar for every peice of junk mail that says "Ms Kris {last name}".. I'd be rich. Hell CVS thought I was a woman for years so I'd get extracare coupons for feminine hygine products..

TV, but no internet?

Generally, cable systems run their internet off of one or more of the TV channels - and much of the TV is "broadcast" as digital anyway. So it doesn't make much sense that internet would fail when the TV still works.

This must be the latest Comcast strategy to get consumer that are only purchasing internet service to pony up for TV and useless phone numbers in one of their bundles.

I hate Comcast with a passion.
