[dba-Tech] Comcast usage with no internet

[Gary Kjos]

I am a Comcast customer and have no problem with them at all.  50 MB
down and 13 Mb up just now when I tested. Have had nothing but good
service and reliability.  We have DSL competition here for internet
and of course several Satalite carriers for TV.  Most of the USA has
multiple carriers to choose from for Internet and TV service now.

Not only is their connection speed, reliability and no-competition agreements been terrible, it seems they have been scamming their customers as well. Finally, Washington state is invoking a class-action suit against Comcast: http://bit.ly/2aRohHm . What a scummy company.
