    “at no additional cost” - my bill went up nearly 25% in January. Their generosity is underwhelming.

    ah yes, faster speeds so we can run out of the 1.2 TB / month quota faster

    data caps on fiber should be illegal

    who even gets their 1.2 Gbps plan when you can run out of data for the whole month in a bit over 2 hours?

      Data caps on any fixed location internet service should be illegal.

      Overselling then blocking customers from being able to use what they paid for is fraud.

    If my Comcast didn’t go down for 10 minutes at a time, 3 or 4 times a day, I would not be getting fiber in the next 11 days. So, fuck off Comcast.

    Cable companies can all suck it. Do you know how they started out? As antenna farms. They put OTA antennas up on the top of hills they owned the land on so nobody else could (aka a monopoly on something that wasn’t theirs) and ran two conductor (not coax) cable down to the valley where people couldn’t get OTA signal, and charged for it. They literally began that way, as leaches selling free-to-air signal to a captive audience. They do that to this very day, with additional evil shit value added services.
