But this is going to send the stock price further in the tank....they're fighting their own money!
Theres alternative ways to deal w/Brian Roberts and cohorts without causing your own investment to plummet!

I'm anything but a Comcrap fan but damn, they're publicly traded and profit and loss is there for the world to see and they're giving tons of notice about future outlook. The fact that people don't do their research before buying a stock is their own fault, not Comcast's.

And their "big revisions" were changing their revenue growth estimate from 12% to 11%. Wow...how deceitful. Churn and bad debt are affecting other cable operators too and others like TW took their lumps as well. It's called a sluggish economy helped along by Verizon giving away HDTVs to everyone signing up for FiOS video.

But like all class actions, this will just cost Comcast (and their customers) a bunch of money, those suing will get some stupid coupons or soemthing and the greedy bloodsucking waste of skin lawyers get filthy rich.

Bad customer service, oversold network, undisclosed bandwidth limitations......This is only the beginning of the downfall of Comcast.

They may not have look entirely pleasing to customers - but they are very very pleasing to their investors.

And that's all that matters, unfortunately.

In this case, customer is NOT #1, it's your investors.

This is pretty much business as usual for the bottom feeders that are called lawyers. There are law firms out there that go out and buy single shares of every publicly traded company they can get their hands on. Then when any excuse comes up, they file a class-action lawsuit on behalf of the investors. If they're sucessful, each investor will likely get a pittance, depending on their total investement. However, the law firm will rake in 1/3rd of the settlement.
