First, they gave all customers a chance to opt out. If you did not opt out, then you are automatically considered as accepting the new rules. However, I said it before, and it still stands. Something obviously obligated this company to giving their customers this right. The question begs to differ now can people singing up get afforded this same time limit to opt out. Prove to me they cannot. If a person here has signed up recently let us know. My guess, is that if you bring up the issue, you can opt out in the same time period as those who were current members. Once again, there must be some law that forced them to allow members to not be a part of the arbitration clause. Still, if I stand corrected and you cannot opt out, I'd go elsewhere. Either way moon, get your facts right. This is not cut and dry. It's a tricky issue since state and federal laws apply here.
Here is part of the Comcast's TOS. Read it carefully.
