I'm essentially saying this isn't news because this sort of thing happens all the time. This is in no way condoning the practice, and this sort of thing should be taken up with the proper consumer groups. Not just Comcast, but the entire practice of deceptive advertising using the words "special price" to denote bargains when they are in fact not. Right now the only way to truly fight this practice is to get the word out. The next time a friend or family member mentions this kind of advertising tell them straight what's going on. Teach them to shop around and be wary of those catch-phrases. Tell them to pass on the knowledge. The more the word is spread the less these kinds of advertising tactics will show success. There is only so much that can be legislated and regulated. The rest is up to us.
