Re: Failing their customers
I am not shocked under the current administration, but I am quite dissappointed that the FCC doesn't step in and stop this. While PR folks like to think they can redefine common terms at a whim, that is not legal. Perhaps Comcast needs to see a class action lawsuit. They've now stated publicly that they are not following the commond definition of unlimited. Consider for a moment what unlimited would mean for your phone minutes...
Someone either get the FCC in on this or file a class action. Comcast should be made to pay a few million for both robbing the community of assistance dollars and then lying to the very public that helped to pay them to become what they are.
That's really the only way they'll learn to back off the "but we don't define that word that way" methodology of illegal abuse of the customer. |

| The FCC's official position still seems to be taking a "hand's off" approach to cable internet, somehow linked to the FCC's Broadband Initiative. Nonetheless, Comcast's handling of this matter probably does not make Mike Powell's fight to overturn the Ninth District's BRAND X INTERNET SERVICES v. FCC decision any easier. |

Funny! Powell's little Mikey can take a hands-off approach on this obvious case of false advertisement and dance Comcast is doing around the cap but he can surely find time to investigate Janet Jackson's boob....errr.....half time performance flap.
Mike and the FCC are the real boobs. Just my 2 cents.

Although I am not a big fan of lawsuits, I think that may be the only alternative, as you suggested. Actually, I’m shocked one has not been filed yet or a call to get similarly affected parties to get organized and ask for class action status. |
