Ripped from FW...



If this doesn't belong here, then please lock... I thought people here would want to know too...

well... it's not cool for comcast to be doing this...
especially if credit cards and passwords are involved.

but i think this is still an OT.

thanx for letting us know though.

It doesn't belong here, but it's just one more thing that shows how much Comcast sucks. first they eliminate usenet, now this. AT&T Broadband customers beware, once the buyout is over, you'll be getting the same treatment.

Does anyone know if you can request NOT to be tracked they will listen? Kind of like how credit card companies track your purchases and share your information unless you explicitly ask them not to...

Yeah, apparently all the complaints and people threatening to cancel service actually had some effect.... I can't believe that Comcast started monitoring URL's and the like without telling anyone though....

That didn't last long.

Maybe a "deal dead" should go up?

acually, the news servers may be down, but just use the ip address of the news server, and it works fine with comcast..
