Read it and weep, Comcast. I can't wait to watch your monopolizing ass burn to the ground. As consumers, we've had to withstand terrible customer service and price gouging for years. I can't wait for the day that this changes.
Totally agree. The worst of it is the shabby Comcast speeds (kept low purposely so customers won't stream all their TV and cut their cable). The price gouging is extraordinary. Hope Google Fiber can really expand nationwide. Funny how other developed countries have MUCH faster speeds and lower prices. It's available, but Comcast lobbyists have bought off congress so real competition and real speeds won't happen in the US.

Good article on this topic below:

I think Comcast and Time Warner are sort of tied at the hip!

Ah Comcast... the frequent disconnects during youtube vids and video games, the internet speeds that MIGHT be somewhere close to what they say you are supposed to get, the fighting over the phone to get anything done properly....
