Comcast Outage?

Are any Comcast customers in Ball or Davis Squares experiencing outages today? I woke up today without cable or internet and am still without service 12 hours later. Bills are paid and modem and router are operational, so it seems like a Comcast service issue.

I figured this was the best place to check if other people in the area experiencing outages, although if people are without internet I realize they are probably not reading this! I have hopped on a neighbor's (thanks High107) unsecure wireless connection to post this and check email -- presumably RCN. A call to Comcast earlier today indicated that there is a potential issue in the area, but apparently they won't send anyone out to fix it unless multiple people call.

I live in north cambridge and have had spotty internet all weekend, for example it would take 5 minutes for a page to load (or never), but then a few hours later it was working fine (this repeated all weekend).
