Their twitter feed was hilarious - individuals were reporting outages as part of a collective 'me too' and instead of Comcast saying there's a big issue with our network, they replied (probably with a bot) to every message asking to be be DM'd with the account details so they could look into it.
To get to the outage map, the default path from their site (which was also down), you had to sign in to see that your very specific region had an issue. They really didn't want to show that (likely) millions of people were affected.
- sloshnmosh 5y agoHmmm. My tinfoil hat tells me that Comcast may be doing this to tie users Twitter accounts to their real names and addresses.
- bigmattystyles 5y agoI mean, they can likely correlate that from their logs when you hit twitter and post if they really want to do that. Combine that with the info I bet Twitter sells on its users and it's got to be easy.
