However, as a customer you have the very powerful choice to do one of two things: either continue or stop.
Consumer choice IS A HUGE FACTOR. So far, Comcast has been my only 1+ Mbps choice at 2 different addresses in my town -- known as the heart of the Silicon Forest and home to most of Intel Corp's employees.

If Cable Internet were open access, like DSL was a few years back, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

But he's right, companies have no requirement to fill in all the details for how their service works. No internet provider goes out of their way to explain how everything in their network is set up, and if you ask they won't tell you.

I for one would be very interested in reading about all 8000 things thank you.....and I am sure there are alot ofpeople who do as well.
Me three ...

So basically his rationale is "We have the right to change 8,000 things about your Internet connection and not tell you about it."

My thinking is, "if you're going to change 8,000 things about my Internet connection, I definitely want to know about it! (And you ought to have your head examined!)"
