Comcast is evil
Words cannot begin to describe how much I hate the Comcast cable provider. They have of course got a monopoly on the cable service in my area and a disturbingly large part of cable service nationwide. Their prices are absolutely outrageous. The lowest plan they have that includes any strictly cable stations (not broadcast) costs $42. I don't watch

To add to this...Comcast does not support VPN. Therefore, I cannot access my work network...rendering me temporarily unemployed.
It's one thing to block illegal activity...but its another to restrct basic internet usage and prohibit individuals from doing work from home. Comcast will go down, just give it time.

Luckily I don't have internet service though them. If I did I might not mind the incremental expense of cable. On the other hand I'd probably hate that internet. We've got super fast DSL, with 8 static IPs and lots of freedom.

I'm not normally a conspiracy theorist, but it just seems odd. Overnight, they rose up as a monolpoly in my are and good chunk of the nation for cable. They have 68000 troops, err... employees so far and 21.5 million customers. That's 7% of the nation. I have jsut barely touched cable internet. Suddenly they boast service twice as fast as regular DSL for 25 a month. Why haven't any other services gotten ahold of this technology? It doesn't just stop at overcharging, lack of customer support and therefore false advertizing. They're fucking skynet.

here's something for a conspiracy...comcast currently owns 28% of time warner stock. They are negotiating a deal to either merge with Time-Warner and buy out Adelphia, or for Time to buy out adelphia and raise comcast stocks to up to 50%(effectively a merger, but it won't look like quite the monopoly). Time Warner Inc. owns AOL, CNN, HBO, Warner Bros. and a number of other major networks. Comcast already owns C8, a major news, sports, and entertainment network for the New England states. For an overview...Comcast owns AT&T, it is the largest cable/broadband provider in the nation, and it is working on buying Adelphia, Time Warner and Disney (although disney looks like it will fall through). Where do you get your news?
