Steam simply wont work on the Store page at all or the community. After trying various things im at a loss. Also the web store via a normal firefox browser session doesnt work either.

I heard commcast are complete turd and their network is down a lot. But shouldnt my client be getting games from the UK or EU ??

surley my problem lies in the fact that there is some moumentally odd routing going on or is this normal but there is an outage at the far end??

this has been going on for weeks now and i could only get on once or twice to buy games througout the summer sale. Perhaps its just the ports on my router but its a bog standard BT homhub with Steam game service allowed on my IP
