I'm convinced that Comcast really doesn't care about their users sending spam, zombied machines or otherwise, and that it's going to take an Internet Death Penalty to make them start disconnecting their spammers. Event though I'm a Comcast subscriber, I will applaud that action when it happens. -- The Rules of Spam | Maryland's New Anti-Spam Law Where are we going? And what's with the hand basket?

Well I would have agreed with you a few months ago but since their name was splashed all over the media it seems their upper management has decided to invest more resources in getting this issue resolved and they're beginning to make progress. I'm not saying they're there yet but it's a case of 'better late then never' I guess so at this point I'm going to bite my tongue and see if they actually keep it up.
Comcast recently reached out to us and provided us with a direct contact to assist in abuse/security issues and that's a HUGE change from the previous blackhole that was their abuse/security department.

Huh?? What??? where is this documented???
And to report Spam, they want you to use thier web-broswer to look at your email, mark it as "spam" and then dl the e-mail..... what a pain in the tail.. so I've done this over and over and yet I still coninue to get the same stuff from the same places... but when it comes from domains we know are bad and when the userid is known to be bad.. why do we keep getting this crapola?

I don't see ANY progress being made.
All I see is continually increasing listings in the Spamhaus SBL and Comcast NOT acting on SpamCop reports which document IPs that have had tens of thousands of complaints. And . . . more and more blacklists that are beginning to add bona fide Comcast controlled mail servers to their deny tables. -- The Rules of Spam | Maryland's New Anti-Spam Law Where are we going?

Well it's only my opinion but compared to the zero action I saw before I am seeing a difference now. They can't fix it overnight and it will take some time (justifiably so) before the major RBLs take them at their word and delist them.
