I'm on Comcast and cannot get to Twitter and a few other places... But Netflix and YouTube work just fine. I wonder why I can get to some stuff but not others...

Netflix and YouTube have caches inside Comcast's network. That'll probably be why they are still serving?

I'm on HN...seeing your update...I an connect to my employer remotely... Feels like Comcast is not the whole story...
HackerNews is served from Cloudflare, which employs caches close to you as well. Seems like Comcast has a problem routing over distance.
Seeing talks about 2 separate fiber cuts... Lots of issues all over the US. Chicago to NY and also another cut that goes south to SC. r/sysadmin has good info
