Must be just some glitch that takes some time to wind itself out. Seems to be working again, although the "sent messages" do not show content. Maybe that will clear up shortly. Things were so much better when I was a kid and all we had was a crystal radio that you clipped to a chain link fence and picked up a few close AM stations. Now look what's going on..... ...

Having problems with my Comcast e-mail also (using web access). Message on Inbox says "failed, try again later". Messages are showing up in "sent" folder but they have no content. Go figure. My wife's Comcast e-mail on her computer (same web access) is working ok. What's up Doc?????   I just paid my bill.    ron.  ... View more

Why, pray tell, is it so difficult to get into the call blocking menu these days? I have better luck on the lottery than getting into the menu. Nearly every time, all it does is spin in a circle and say "loading", but it never does. On a lucky day when I do get in, I can enter only one number and then it just says "saving...saving....saving..." with no way to enter another number. Luckily, it does save the one number you enter. Then its back to the lottery. Whats up with this???   ron. ... View more

Looks like for those having this problem, its usually a weak signal thats the culprit.   ron.     ... View more

I can relate; been there. First thing, check all your connections and splitters. In my case, the signal was weak coming in from the street and I had a bad splitter. See if you can put your modem on an unsplit or direct line and try to narrow down the location of the problem before calling in for help.   good luck   ron, ... View more

I would suggest Jack Daniels, good stuff. I guess the main thing is that the problem is fixed. Luckily for me, I have not had billing problems so far, knock on wood.   good luck,   ron.     ... View more

I had the same problem for many months. Finally, a Comcast tech came out about 3 weeks ago. This man had a small device that measures signal strength, and my signal was weak. Turns out, the cable from the street was old and degraded. Replaced that and like magic, problem solved. Also, I had one splitter that was not up to par.   You very likely have a weak signal. See if you can contact Comcast and get a tech who knows all about the signal and has one of these devices that can measure the signal. He should be able to find the weak wires or splitters.   Good luck.   ron.     ... View more

Aha! After some searching, I found this post which reports the same problem I am having with the Comcast phone. I can hear you, but you can't hear me. It even happend today with a call to Comcast. Been going on for months and is recently getting very bad--almost every other call. Tried a new comcast modem (May 2014). Nope! Service tech came out 5/19, changed all the connections and said all looked good. Nope!   I also get frequent signal drops on my modem--lights flick off many many times each day. Of course, when that happens the phone goes totally dead which I can understand. However, the "I can hear you, you can't hear me" happens even when all the lights are steady and the internet is working.   I saw an earlier thread from 2012 reporting this exact problem, but it did not allow new posts.    I guess thats all I got. Cell phones here I come!   ron. :(         ... View more
