I'm not using the Comcast DNS,  because when it broke a year or so ago,
I read advice to use the google dns at 8.8.8.8 instead.  But it doesn't
surprise me if Comcast DNS is broken.  Would they have trouble routing
packets or something, even if I'm not using it directly?

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired,
signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are
not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.
