Netflix and YouTube have caches inside Comcast's network. That'll probably be why they are still serving?

HackerNews is served from Cloudflare, which employs caches close to you as well. Seems like Comcast has a problem routing over distance.

Seeing talks about 2 separate fiber cuts... Lots of issues all over the US. Chicago to NY and also another cut that goes south to SC. r/sysadmin has good info
