Hi Mik,

I have had a problem with a Facebook, a Meta business facebook scam by 
someone who looks very suspicious?and I need advice about how to report 
him and what to do with his harassing?message about my business account 
on Facebook.

I also would like to get my sites optimized and also help with Linkedin 
advanced features.
There's more but that's some of the nutshell.
Thanks again.
best
Linda

Subject: [Hidden-tech] Comcast Internet Issues? (Greenfield only)

Hi All,



I'm curious whether any other Greenfield people's?Comcast/xfinity connections are down.



Multiblock power outage last night in sections of Greenfield led to a Comcast/xfinity internet outage outlasting the power outage. This morning my Comcast text alert said all service was restored, but mine was not. Comcast removed the ability to track area outages, replacing it with a report on only your own connection, and I'm guessing they have a policy to not reveal multi-customer problems. My cable modem still won't connect (tried everything, some with India tech center), so technician coming Monday.?

Also, sites like downdetector.com are weak measures of outages. Does anyone know of services or apps that report regional if not town-specific internet outages based on actual connections, or at least something closer to aggregated modem activity than people posting complaints?



Best Regards,



Rob Laporte

Hey Rob,

Our Comcast went down on Thursday night when the power lines outside our 
house on River Street started arcing. The sparks happened a handful of 
times, eventually taking out the power in the house for a minute. When 
power came back on, the Internet was still down. We called Comcast, gave 
them our Mac address, and they had a tech text us back with updates 
until they got it working again.

Friday morning we awoke to the power line arcing again, this time at 
full torch strength for over a half hour until they turned the power off 
and replaced the horizontal bars/cage that the lines are tethered to. It 
was quite the show.

Wow.?

Recycling a text to other associates today: "despite double surge protection on the power supply and coax cable, the power outage and restoration seems to have blown through the protection. Apparently surge protectors degrade over time. ( . . . )?Cable modem is under warrantee but I have to get an OK from the company, maybe go to Walmart for a new one, have Comcast register it, etc."



The Comcast technician showed up today and confirmed the signal is fine, the modem blown. My APC UPS/surge protector is older than the max 5 years that surge protection tends to work. The more surges, the faster they and simple strip surge protectors expire. Years ago I had a system that recorded surges, and I got many here on James Street. FYI for y'all. I know, yet another todo item.
