 This doesn't surprise me...

We use CT here at work for our business DSL. After dealing with their support teams and inability to troubleshoot simple line problems, them making another poor choice in regards to making profit vs. customer satisfaction doesn't surprise me.

The problem is that around here, we are significantly limited in ISP options. Depending where on the Kitsap peninsula you are, you're limited to either Qwest DSL vs. Comcast Cable or Qwest DSL vs. Wave Broadband or CenturyTel DSL vs. Comcast Cable. None of the options are that appealing, especially considering the infrastructure is poor and there appears to be no effort to upgrade it.

My question for all of this is this: 1) Will it apply to business customers? 2) If there's going to be an Opt-Out program, will it also include the tracking and sale of browsing data?

I opted out right away although it's really stupid and sneaky to make the end user OPT OUT of something like this. I know if they were lowering the price of our DSL packages they sure don't automatically drop the price for everyone you have to call in and get stuck on another one year contract for that.
