data interception and modification.. bad, very bad.
After talking with Mediacom's Legal dept, (Tom Larsen) they are in the process of disabling this 'service' and say it was a "mistake" by the marketing dept and never cleared their legal dept lawyers.
If it is still happening, you can contact Tom at 1-888-692-9090 x2754 and tell him so.
This does not surprise me. During my time as a technician at mediacom, their marketing department did their own thing, and everybody else was just left to wonder what was happening.
I can only imagine that the problem will get worse if the CEO manages to purchase the company from the shareholders.
