Reason 732 why I would never use the network gear provided by an ISP.

Just get your own router and don't use ISP provided router.

What is the escalation path for replacing or removing the corrupt public utility commissions that allow these fraudulent and unethical monopolists to continue operating?

We have endless cases of Comcast and others criminally abusing their granted monopoly and the PUCs simply allowing them to run roughshod over consumers.

How do we fix it?

I had a conspiracy theorist tell me one time this is why they removed all the lead paint. It never quite made sense that kids were actually eating lead chips.

I know lead is bad for you, maybe a coincidence.

>WiFi Motion is not a home security service and is not professionally monitored.

That's funny because it does sound like they suggest it be used as such.
