Maybe not everywhere, sure, only in America.

I can't believe I'm defending Comcast on the internet but here I am, I guess between them and you I'm siding with the entity currently being less of an ass to me?

Idk what you’re even defending with that article, but that’s your cross to bear.

Mimicking my speech pattern then trying to say I’m being the ass is not going to hold up, however.

Elsewhere I posted that I used to work in this space and have first-hand knowledge that the majority of people do not use third party modems. That is a fact.

Just because people can go out and purchase a new modem and then additional wifi gear, doesn’t mean that they do or even should to shield themselves from the potential privacy violations happening here.
