Comcast Business packet loss in LA
Can someone from Comcast business contact me off list about resolving heavy packet loss that runs through the below hop? I'm seeing >40% loss when coming at it from other ISP's or other Comcast connections. IP: 75.65.163.20 Name: c-75-65-163-20.hsd1.la.comcast.net Thank you, Spencer
RE: public open resolver list?
There are several good articles about the different ones out there and the level of filtering and response they can offer. I personally have been happy with Quad9's free DNS server (9.9.9.9) and the basic anti-bad stuff filtering it does. You get no reporting on what it blocks, but there are services (OpenDNS for example) out there you can pay for that offer reporting if needed.

RE: Video Conferencing options to Beijing

Thank you, Spencer Spencer Coplin We’re facing the same issue at my current job. We have many users at home who are unable to access sites in our datacenter. We found that if the user disables the "XFi Advanced Security feature" on their Comcast provided router, they can reach our sites again. We’ve been trying to work with Comcast to see if there is any way to work around this and find out why it suddenly decided to block our content, but don’t have a good solution yet. Might be worth having your user try to disable that feature to see if it helps. Kevin

Try having him change the MAC address of his residential CPE router so the BNG sees it as a "new" device. In my case that resolved connectivity issues after Comcast did some "network maintenance" and broke everything for me. Alternatively, have you tried working this issue from the Business side? You'd probably get more leverage that way.
Xfinity (both ends) - can't ping from users home to office
Hey, is anyone on here able to check routing for Xfinity residential to Xfinity business? I have a client that is unable to ping his office Comcast Business connection from his home Xfinity connection. It was working a month ago and we can confirm that his connection works over his iphone's hotspot. I am able to ping from my own xfinity residential (same city) without issues. I suspect something in the routing from his home connection is messed up as tracert/ping can't even resolve his office's IP. The client called Xfinity residential support and they blamed the inability to ping the IP on his office vpn connection. Has anyone else his this and if so, how was it resolved? Thank you in advance!
