Posted July 2, 2015 It happened just as everyone was finishing work, and the whole company's site infrastructure went down, so it was interesting staying back and trying to figure out why.

Posted July 2, 2015 Its comcast paying lowlifes to kill the competition so they dont have to expand to fiber themselves so they can keep ripping off. Old childish tactics, probably not going to find them out if they used multiple proxies to hire/pay the suckers to do so. No one else in their right mind would do this at least not on a large area multiple times, i hope they find the corporation behind this lel.
