Stop Comcast from DNS Hijacking Redirects
If you’re a Comcast customer and you’ve entered in an incorrect URL or had a server time out recently, you’ve probably been extremely annoyed when you discovered you were being redirected to a page filled with Comcast ads. Comically, this obnoxious DNS redirect is named the ‘Comcast Domain Helper service’, and was forced on you whether you wanted it or not.
Remove Comcast DNS redirect
Things you’ll need to stop Comcast from redirecting your improper URL’s:
1) Your main Comcast account User ID / email address
2) Your cable modems MAC address
In typical Comcast style, they altered your service without your consent, and you have to actually opt-out of the DNS hijacking service, thankfully you can do it online. Good grief.
