New Outage Hits Comcast Subscribers

I have completely given up on relying on Comcast for dns service... For 
now I will continue to use them for "transit"

If they are unwilling to implement anycast dns then I cannot trust 
them... On my mac...

sudo vi /etc/hostconfig
DNSSERVER=-YES-
:wq

No wonder entrenched broadband ISPs are so against metro wifi...
