Do you work for Comcast? Your defense of a blatant move to totally screw customers who are forced to buy a product from a monopoly indicates that. It's a modern world, the world has changed. The switch providers or drop the service argument doesn't float anymore. Internet access is now a utility just like electricity and these companies were given monopolies and now they are abusing their market position and need to be regulated.
