Comcast DNS – Is it time to switch?
Since posting about the Comcast Broadcast storm, a steady stream of e-mail continues to arrive about Comcast’s other troubles…specifically DNS. Preston Gralla asks Why can’t Comcast run DNS? I don’t know why Comcast continues to have DNS issues, but you can switch to a free DNS provider such as OpenDNS.
I’m still trying to figure out other Comcast business mystery decisions. For example, Comcast decided in Colorado that it will only issue 5 usable IP addresses per business account. That makes it impossible to recommend Comcast business to businesses. Somewhere there’s a Comcast business executive that understands businesses use static IP addresses and are willing to pay for them. Not offering an option to buy more is treating your business customers like your consumer customers.
