Thanks to all who sent me the phone number for WD6DDM! I’ve called him and left a message. Hopefully he’ll get back to me.

Yes, of course Rod. There’s not much news at the moment. We have reached out to Ed Hare and he has asked Ron Hranac, N0IVN, to talk to his contact at Comcast. We have tried to contact WD6DBM, but have not been successful at this point. It could be because he cannot access his email, given Comcast’s actions. We are looking for a phone number for him.

Kristen,
As the information on this situation develops, could you keep me in the information loop. As chair of the Legal Defense and Assistance Committee there may be some opportunity for the committee to be of assistance and I can forward the information on to the committee.
Thanks, Rod W6ROD

Wow, that’s crazy. I don’t know Eric, but he’s just a stone’s throw from here. Nobody contacted me before this. I have Comcast business service and have never had a problem myself.
This is certainly wrong technically. I don’t know about legally. Let me get the SCV SM and Ed Hare involved.

TL;DR - person claims Comcast (Xfinity) came and shut off their internet because they were supposedly causing interference to the cable system.
If true this may be a bad precedent set. But it seems rather vindictive since cutting off internet service won’t solve the interference issues.
My cable company when they were Service Electric had their upstream in the 15 meter band back when it was DOCSIS 2.0. They didn’t experience interference and neither did I. Altice USA has since bought them out.
Is the lab on this already?
I don’t know if Kristen is on this as yet. I’m forwarding this since one of my members here in NNJ seemed concerned.
Thanks Ria N2RJ

Ria Hey how you doing. I really enjoy your YouTube episodes. Keep it up.
On another note thought I would pass this on. Don’t know Eric but find this to be troublesome

Dear Gang: Xfinity, our internet provider, showed up at 7:30am this morning, to explain to the XYL that we were being cut off for good because my amateur radio activities had caused wide area outages. Oddly, these wide area outages did not include my own house. They told her the antennas themselves--absent any power--were the problem The last time I was threatened, I installed chokes and opto-isolaters on our shielded ethernet lines, and after being told they use 14Mhz as their carrier frequency, I have stayed off 20m, only using 100w unless I'm in a rare contest. I asked to speak to a technical guy--they gave me a number which I called, but he never called back. Any Ideas? Does anyone have a contact at the ARRL, or know a communications lawyer? Comcast/Xfinity will be back out here at 2pm Pacific time--I'd appreciate any help. My XYL depends on an internet connection to work. Being off the air is unimaginable. Frantic,
73, Eric WD6DBM
