The coming Comcast hell<\/STRONG><\/p>\n

CNET News.com<\/a> has an article up on comcast: <\/p>\n

Comcast privacy move its latest woe<\/a>. The company’s decision under fire to stop storing Web users’ data is only the latest dust-up for the cable giant that’s struggling to move customers onto its new network. <\/EM><\/P><\/p>\n

I am very much dreading the switch to Comcast. As is stated by someone in the article. I’m paying the same amount for a lower level of service. It sounds like they are going to not allow VPN access. Though I’m really not sure how they are doing this. If it just a policy or what. I’m sure I’m going to lose having a DNS (Mediaone let you choose your hostname on your network when I started.) Newsgroups are going away, I didn’t use them much, but there were support ones for Mediaone that were handy.<\/P><\/p>\n

I have a feeling I’m going to be looking for new options. Most likely I’d go with something like DSL. I’m not sure that RCN is an option for me because I have Digital Cable, and I really like<\/EM> having digital cable. This whole thing just sucks. I will probably wait and see how bad it is and then decide.<\/P><\/p>\n

Heck, I’d even be willing to pay a little bit more, not much, but a little bit. It’s weird how different people view home internet access from how we view it from work. If I want access for work I pay a premium for it. We pay for T1 lines, service, etc. A bill that would come to over $1,000\/month. For home service, I get T1 speeds and pay $45\/month. And then I get pissed off when I don’t get at least as good service as what I’m paying over $1,000\/month for. In some ways it makes me question the cost of that high speed access at work. The whole biz is a mess.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
