Wow. Thanks for the info, wondering. I didn't know all those Comcast ads were just the same AT&T Broadband. And to think that other night I suggested to my wife,"We should switch to Comcast, AT&T sucks." Whoops.

As for your question, unless you have a contract for X months of service I'd cancel my account out of spite.

I wonder if we need some sort of smart mob service dedicated to empowering consumers against shady business practices like this. Instead of "Write your local representative" we could organize "Write your local _customer_service_ representative":

Dear Comcast,

I'm dissappointed you tried to bully Mr Wondering into buying cable service from you.

<shudder>

Is it the government? Is it a corporation? I can't tell! How cyberpunk.
