Re: Nice Important to also note that for many of the more tech-savvy customers who had long ago statically assigned their DNS servers: all the old servers are the opted-out / no redirect servers. Thus, if you statically assigned DNS IPs some time ago, you were opted out by default.
And, though we have provided this long list, the most automated / easy way to opt-out (IMHO) is to use the opt-out page, which automatically updates your DNS IPs via DHCP. But we wanted to publish the list anyway - since some folks wanted to see the list. -- JL Comcast |

And that is, after a couple weeks no one will remember about the opt-out option and I am pretty sure Comcast won't be continually advertising this capability and the opt-out page going forward. So all those who might opt-out probably didn't need the page to begin with and those who are less in the know will never hear about it ever again. -- My BLOG .. .. Internet News .. .. My Web Page |

said by ctg1701a:...snip... Opting-out is simple, via an easy-to-find link on the top of the Web error page one receives when an invalid domain named is entered into a browser....snip... Chris Comcast National Engineering & Technical Operations So, if said link remains on the re-direct page... every time a customer has a re-direct, they will have the option to opt-out and be given a link to opt-out. |

Then that is very acceptable. If they leave that option on there. -- My BLOG .. .. Internet News .. .. My Web Page |
