Probably nobody noticed it but we lost our internet connection for three weekends in a row. Last weekend we spend in Philadelphia, PA and I think I know the reason for our internet disconnection: Our internet-provider.
Comcast Center is a skyscraper in Center City, Philadelphia, PA. The building officially opened for business on June 8, 2008, and its primary tenant is Comcast. The building is the tallest building in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania (975 feet, 297m on 57 floors). It was designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects. Owing to the terracing and idiosyncratic notch, the Philadelphia Inquirer has joked that Comcast built a giant USB memory stick (Source: Wikipedia).
I had difficulties to decide whether I should post the square or the landscape version. Below is the other one plus two more shots.

On my visit to Philadelphia earlier this year my friend's cousin (and gracious host) took us on a tour of the Comcast Center. At 975 ft, it is the tallest building in Philadelphia and 15th tallest in all of the US. The tallest building in Canada, First Canadian Place in Toronto, is only a mere 3 ft taller. Yes, we snapped pics like a bunch of Japanese tourists.
Press "L".
Comcast Center is a skyscraper in Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The 58-story, 297 m (974 ft) tower is the tallest building in Philadelphia and the seventeenth tallest building in the United States.
Construction began in 2005 and the building is named after its lead tenant, cable company Comcast, which makes the skyscraper its corporate headquarters. Leasing 1,094,212 square feet (100,000 m2), Comcast takes up 89 percent of the building.
The building features retail and restaurant space and a connection to the nearby Suburban Station. In Comcast Center's lobby is the Comcast Experience, which is a 2,000 square feet (190 m2) high-definition LED screen that has become a tourist attraction.

My TV screen this morning. Comcast Cable going awry. Arrrrrrrrrg! Oh well, I decided to make the most of it and share. At least the pattern is interesting. HA!
It's getting there, the new Comcast 2 tower in Philadelphia, PA. It is the new tallest building in the city and right next door to the previous tallest, Comcast 1 which can be seen just behind it.
This is a vertical panorama stitched together from three shots with PTGui.
