|  YOU ARE TOO PARANOID!!!
PLEASE READ!!!
I have a couple of REALLY good question, then I will rest my case. QUESTION ONE!! Does ANYBODY have an actual packet capture of the "Transition Wizard" sending ANY information back to Comcast (with the possible exception to the e-mail address stored in Outlook Express, this may be needed by them only to refer to the new name you may have been assigned during the transition)??? No??? But why not? Because IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. You just agree to a general legal agreement that is required to be forced in your face in order for the software to legally be placed on your machine and be supported by Comcast. But wait... Think about it this way too, sometimes you get outsourced assistance with your internet, this being an affiliate, if they are assisting you with this product (the transition wizard) then that is an affiliate that would need access to the company records to verify they are actually talking to YOU. QUESTION 2!!! At WHAT POINT, does the software (TRANSITION WIZARD) ask YOU, JOHN Q. USER, for personal info like your account number, social security number, address, etc??? NEVER!!! I think you are all just a bunch of paranoid folks with nothing else to do other than be afraid the rich ol' cable company is going to screw you out of your credit report scores... And to add another thing to the subject, if you lease the modem, they have all your info all ready, and the only thing at this point you should be concerned about is what you actually SIGNED on the work order at the time of install, because it is a binding legal document WITH all your personal info on it, including your SS#... Your credit info is only pulled when you lease equipment from someone anyway, just like when you get a credit card, so whats the big deal about that??? Simply purchase your own modem and that solves that problem. Leave the subject alone, you are blowing smoke up peoples rear ends, and you really should stop.. |
