Man.... After reading those articles it sounds like Comcast is on an intimidation rampage mafia style.... 'Accidently' putting blockers on cable boxes that are clearly marked RCN isin't possible... Even someone that can't read can make out the 3 letters of RCN... lol

Re: ?

Wonder if this has anything to do with the bad blood between these two companies? Ya think?

For example, in the Philadelphia area (and HQ of Comcast) RCN may be best known for having withdrawn a bid to enter the market after a much publicized regulatory battle and after having accused Comcast Corp. of holding up Philadelphia City Council approvals. RCN was a very vocal opponent of Comcast's acquisition of AT&T Broadband, and had filed documents with the FCC accusing Comcast of anti-competitive behavior. And there are many more instances of Comcast and RCN butting heads…

Re: ?

I think purposely messing up RCN customers is a little over the line.. It's one thing to be "enemies" in the business world, but getting the customers involved is just wrong and emoral...

This reminds me of the over-zealous Bell employees who "Accidently" screw up CLEC lines and equipment. Similar deal. As a customer, it's pathetic, and Comcast should be forced to pay massive punitive damages to RCN AND THE CUSTOMER.

@comcast.n

How many are we talking about. 10, 100 what? If it is ten out of like 60,000 sub area, then it can be a mistake. And if they were doing this on purpose, why would they drive up in a Comcast van. They should just have a RCN van made up and use that to mess your cable up. There are idiots in every company. I know you all believe that Comcast is evil, but you have to realize they didnt get there by being stupid.
