Re: [Rant] Comcast inserting Javascript into webpages?

I'm surprised their lawyers let them do this. What happens the first time someone's computer can't automatically download emergency security updates because the HTTP requests are hijacked?

No need to worry about that scenario; if you can't connect to the Internet, your chances of getting infected are greatly reduced. And even if you got infected, there is a good chance that Comcast's other HTML injection program called Constant Guard, would then send you an HTML message to inform you that you were infected.

Did you read the AUP and TOS? Their lawyers assume you have. Since you agreed to this by accepting the terms of service, their lawyers have nothing to worry about.
