Comcast went down over huge area
It started at 1AM Monday night and came back around 4PM yesterday. Large areas of Baltimore/Wash DC/ and Richmond lost both cable and internet services. Virginia state services were completely down all day including voter registration/DMV/ and Social Services to name a few. Apparently a cable was cut somewhere down in the Richmond area and just that action caused all this chaos.

Not the first time, won't be the last. Can't say how many times I saw major buried fiber lines (maybe not THAT major, but still) get cut by home construction crews when I was in Newport News.

Apparently there were more than one cable issue as a cable in the Baltimore area was also damaged and in my area a car hit an aluminum pole in nearby Lake Ridge, which added to the issues.
