[SOLVED!] Comcast keeps redirecting random websites?

Since like two days ago, Comcast has been redirecting certain websites to some sort of "Get Started' splash page of theirs. Most notably, Google.

It takes me here: http://actsvr.comcastonline.com/nocache/realactsvr.html

It seems to happen a lot with dead links, but also some that are active - random searches from Yahoo gave me the same deal. It's even happening on our iPod touch.

What the fuck? I hate this and want it to stop.

    Have you tried using another DNS server?

    Try Google Public DNS.

    That is the Comcast Walled Garden page. Your cable modem may need to be reprovisioned. Customer care can do it over the phone.

    Awesome! Taken care of. Relatively simple fix, thanks!

    Just curious, did changing the DNS server fix it?
