I wish I could. There is no competition here. I dropped my cable TV service
a while back because of the customer care. Sadly, I need broadband internet
(Web Dev as trade) and Comcast is the only one who provides it in the area.

Perhaps a blocked port?  If you aren't already, you might want to set up

This is what I thought initially, but no luck. I switched off to a bunch of
different ports including 80, 8000, and the route to host is
still unavailable.

Thanks anyway.
