Those poor citizens of the Midwest–they couldn’t even get online to see that their Tumblr pages had been knocked offline. A Comcast outage hit Minnesota, Michigan, and Indiana last night.
Comcast spokesman Bill Gerth addressed the problem via the company’s Twitter page, writing, “I apologize for the down time” and stating that the company was looking into the issue. According to later tweets, the downtime was the result of “DNS related issues.”
As of this afternoon, Comcast seems to have the issues mostly cleared up, though Gerth is still fielding complaints from a number of Comcast customers in the area.
