need court ruling on legality of click-to-sign

At some point, the courts will need to rule on the legality of "click-through consent" for things that normally require explicit written permission, like releasing credit information.

For Comcast to try and slip this into their click-through Terms Of Service agreement is unconscionable IMHO.

As alluded to in other posts in this news topic, this goes beyond "click through consent," particularly based on the provisions that use of the service implies agreement and Comcast's ability to change the terms of service at any time by simply posting a new one on their site (without any other type of notification being necessary). Regardless if one used the transition wizard, anyone (legacy or ex-ATTBI) using the Comcast High Speed Internet service consents to the new TOS per the TOS.

While the entire deal has me scratching my head regarding whether or not modification of the terms of a service agreement without express consent of both parties sits with regard to "common law", this practice seems fairly widespread amongst Internet Service Providers.

There is also no clear definition of what "The Service" actually consists of contained within Comcast's Terms of Service...
