Re: Countdown... said by binarycode:...until the comcast fanboys wake up and tell us it's our fault. Oh good grief, you're so out of touch with reality it's sad.
When choosing an ISP, most consumers can only base their choice on what the corporation tells you. I have no problem with comcast choosing how to run their network how they see fit, but to lie to their consumers about their product... that in my book is akin to fraudulent business practices.
If Comcast would have been a bank, the OCC would have shut them down due to "unfair banking practices".
Unfortunately, no matter how you spin it, the internet is rapidly becoming a utility in the same way a phone is considered a utility. No, you don't need it to live, but with the amount of communication that is done over this medium, the corporate leadership of these companies need to be held to a higher standard then your standard Mom and Pop business model. My point here being is that there are many rules and regulations for businesses that necessary for the economy to run smoothly... i.e. the OCC comparison above. If Comcast is going to continue to operate as business as usual then it's time for them to either get their act together and stop lieing to the consumer, or it's time for the goverment to step in and (oh the horrors) regulate this industry. And as many of us know, government regulation is almost any form is bad. |
