Add another Comcast outage checker and logger to the pile. Used to call and hassle them for outage refunds regularly.

Chalk me up to that too. And my brother. Originally I'd used Ping Plotter. When I went 100% Linux I stopped using that. My brother ended up putting together a Grafana board tied to influxdb & infping and monitors several friend and family internet connections complete with alerts.

I love that you are crowdsourcing data from several friends and family members. We need this for most of the SaaS world!

Hah. I did not realize that was an option. Should have been keeping track of downtime :)
