The Wrong People Went To Jail

Good ol' Comcast is at it again. Not only does the company limit their cable customers' choices of high-definition channels (Comcast refuses to carry HDNet and HDNet Movies), but now they've begun cutting off internet customers who use too much bandwidth. And not commercial customers, either; families have had their service canceled for downloading too many songs, videos, TV shows, and games.

So how much is too much? Well, that's the other thing: Comcast won't say. Nor do they offer a way for you to monitor your internet usage. Even the warning letters that the company sends out don't offer specifics.

I really, really, REALLY miss Adelphia. Yes, that company went bankrupt and their founders ended up in jail. But the fact remains that they provided better internet service and more viewing choices to their subscribers than Comcast.
