Sporadic Connectivity Issues to Google Services
This started about a week ago at both of our locations (Central PA). I Netgear CG3000's at both locations in passthrough with UBNT ERLite routers.
Sporadically, throughout the day users will lose connectivity to all Google services and must restart their browsers in order to get it back.
This is independent of browser or os. This is also independent of DNS servers in use (Comcast, local, Google's...).
There's also the thread below describing the same thing on the "home" users forums:
Sadly, there's no activity on the thread and a traceroute doesn't mean jack squat.
There's also the thread below describing the same thing on DSL Reports - again, dead end because the thread was somewhat hijacked but the symptoms are identical.

From home and from a 3rd location - both on FiOS - there are no issues using the same computer(s) and Google service(s) leading me to believe this is a Comcast problem.
This started either last week or the week before (last week of March or week before).
Any thoughts? My first is that Comcast is screwing with Google traffic for somereason and it's having adverse effects - this is based on some things I've seen where C is "boosting" speeds to G's services but there's not been any confirmation I can find.

So this continues to be a serious issue, but I've narrowed it down further...
It ONLY affects Chrome users when ONLY on Comcast. Firefox, IE, Opera and Safari are all fine. Chrome and all other browsers work without issue when on a cellular hotspot (AT&T) or on FiOS or other provider connections (same computers, from employee homes).
This is most certainly a Comcast issue and I'm thinking they are trying to inject ad tracking or something like Verizon's "Super Cookie" and Chrome doesn't like it.
