Dirty tactics, total assclowns

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Please don't use "assclowns." Such an annoying word.

 

[BlazersBlood]

FUCK COMCAST! And I'm glad I have FiOS. Fuck them & fuck them hard.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Please don't use "assclowns." Such an annoying word.

I think it's actually two words.

 

[HailBlazers]

Not as annoying as Comcast's monopoly, soon to be even bigger!

Honestly, I don't see anything so wrong about this. It's something businesses do to make more money. Microsoft did this sort thing all the time, and still continues to do so. But if I used Netflix, I'd probably be a bit more angry.

Essentially, this goes against the idea of net neutrality

Your right, from a business standpoint I understand it. From a consumer standpoint its another obvious attempt by Comcast to control the market at the consumers expense. Microsoft has also been punished for this type behavior.

Hmm, i never knew such net neutrality laws existed. That does sound wrong.

On a side note, I live like 4 blocks away from Comcast HQ. Should I throw rocks at their building?

(apparently, that building I live by isn't HQ, which is actually like 2 blks from where I work instead. )

Words are usually separated by spaces, bro.

You would know since you use it more than anyone on this board! Lol

 

[Wheels]
