"It was a mistake.."Here Mediacom, let me help you. This excuse seems to work many times:
"It was a mistake on our part. Our engineers were suppose to deploy the ad injection system to a test system, and not to the public network. We deeply regret any inconvenience this may have caused our customers. We are committed to providing value to our customers and are constantly evaluating new methods and practices that can increase our customer's Internet experience." |

Too bad that will be the standard reply! |

Hahaha. I love it when any company says that line. Whenever I read/hear/see that line, I know something stupid is up. |

I would agree. That they'd even consider ad injection so much that they'd even bother setting up a test environment is abysmal. Ad injection: just say no! No need for me to put up any test equipment for me to decide. |

Well, someone from Mediacom allegedly did say it was a "mistake" earlier when this story first broke: said by pokesph:100% ILLEGAL! 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. » ad inject to stop... |

So the marketing department has the power to tell the programmers and the network people what to do. What was the guy's name in marketing who gave the orders? Inquiring minds want to know. |
