Comcast hints at plan for paid fast lanes after net neutrality repeal - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;52946177]google the phone numbers they called you with and see if they come up as comcast owned or independent.[/QUOTE] It's possible for scammers and the like to spoof phone numbers so I don't know if this will help.

[QUOTE=Helix Snake;52946399]It's possible for scammers and the like to spoof phone numbers so I don't know if this will help.[/QUOTE] And phone number spoofing has become all the rage lately, so it's incredibly not helpful.

[QUOTE=shad0w440;52946393]Sitting in thier ivory tower plugging their ears won't help much when they are dragged out of said towers to be drawn and quartered by an angry mob of millennials who just got fucked out of a future. We have a generation of people who grew up on the internet who made most of their friends online who are incapable of imagining a life without it, you take that away and there's no telling how bad the reaction will be from internet natives. If Comcast takes the ball and roles with it after this passes there will be bloodshed.[/QUOTE] The idea that people will actually violently uprise against a company, not a government, is comical to me. Are there any examples of that happening in a first world country in the past?

Cancel your service

[QUOTE=proboardslol;52955199]Cancel your service[/QUOTE] And go to?

[QUOTE=Revenge282;52955224]And go to?[/QUOTE] The library I guess. Starbucks?

[QUOTE=spazthemax;52955189]The idea that people will actually violently uprise against a company, not a government, is comical to me. Are there any examples of that happening in a first world country in the past?[/QUOTE] To be fair, people didn't rise up against governments or kings for a long time either. Companies have only (relatively) recently become a huge part of our way of life. Nobody will spill blood over net neutrality, though. If only because telecoms will be able to see, and control, any attempts at organization.

This is appaling. I remember looking everywhere for a conection that would reach my house and not suck ass. I finally got it, at a somewhat efty price. Imagine now having to pay more to get full speed... That doesn't even makes sense. I'm paying out the ass for good speed, and they'd make me pay even more. That's some messed up shit. How about you fuck me in the ass and then demand money for it aswell?!

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;52946146]No, we received a call and e-mail from Comcast as well as a notification in the mail. The amount of calls and shit didn’t seem like any sort of casing, not to mention that Comcast is still trying to sell us a new router. Well, “lease” a new router or whatever they’ve called it. We got their number and called the local office and they confirmed that “this address appears to have a leakage issue with your router!”[/QUOTE] RF leakage is a real thing, though. Not in relation to Wi-Fi, but for the actual coaxial lines running to your home all the way back to the node. I've worked for Spectrum since they were Time Warner Cable for years, and have seen customers who have had their service turned off temporarily because the signal leakage was so bad. It still [I]worked[/I], sure, but it was severely affecting neighbors (sometimes even an entire neighborhood, albeit are). I'm not saying what you did was incorrect (because the way they phrased it is absolute bullshit and you reacted appropriately), but the problem you're describing does exist.
