BYE BYE COMCAST
Seriously, we have to fight this with dollars - the "Corps can give, but YOU, the lowly worker, CANNOT, not without MY, the Corporation's, PERMISSION.

So, if you have CONcast, drop it.

Luckily, I have an alternative and I know that many of you don't.

Can others post some online alternatives? I haven't searched much for this since I have a regional company that does an oh-so-much-better job than CONcast?

Thanks!

1. I was thinking of going back...

I'm with Verizon, now Frontier, but no fucking way are they getting my money now. Ever.

And you can believe I will be calling them to tell them just that.

2. Free persons have no rights which a corporation is bound to respect.

3. Dumping Comcraptic from my home is priority number one.
Unfortunately, there's not much to choose from in the way of Internet providers. It's pretty much Comcraptic or AT&T.

5. If you'll post your general area (you don't have to!) then
maybe others can help you find an alternative.

If not, it may still be worth it to call CONcast and tell them why you're switching to AT&T (sigh - I'm sorry that's your only choice, thus far!)

8. Here's how bad CONcast is in my area.
My next-door neighbor's dad works there. She had it about four, maybe six, months. Now she has Knology.

6. Yep. We came to that conclusion quickly after reading the news
I've always thought that one of the first things comcast would do when they took over msnbc was to begin targeting their week-night evening programing, beginning with Keith.

Screw you comcast, its back to DISH for me.

7. I'm starting research right fricking now to switch from Comcast.
Our family is going to find out what else is available in our area. Honestly, I don't care if we have to give up some things...slower internet is not as important as free speech!

10. Comcast already has lost bunch of customers, I am happy to say.
Read this am in my net crawls that cable companies, including Comcast, are losing lots of customers, attributable to the economy.
Overall, in fact, tv watching is way down, net watching is way up.

13. I'm switching to ATT U-verse on monday...
It is cheaper, don't know how the internet speed will be but I'll get more TV channels and pay much less!
