San Ramon, CA | Now, if only Comcast had morals
Look at Verizon. They were the whipping boy here for whatever they did in PA years ago. Look at where they have come. |

When you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar.
I'm sure that Verizon/AT&T and other large carriers will find better methods of not being caught, and put spin on it when they do. They have many lawyers to help draft their terms to be vague enough to not be caught on any specific item.

Where it said "the public is utterly clueless when it comes to online privacy" sums it up quite nicely!

We're not talking about "some people." We're talking about corporation whose sole existence for being is profit at any cost. Shame cannot be elicited from a stone just as blood can't be squeezed from a turnip. |

| re: if only Comcast had Morals
Over the last few months, I've posted a lot of commentary on DPI, and related efforts at intercepting user behavior at the network level for profitable gain. Here's a recap:
www dot dmnews.com/Shielding-consumers-from-privacy-breaching-ISP-tracking/article/112169/
Nontheless, I would recommend to ALL consumers to procure a VPN tool to absolutely ensure your personal privacy while on-line. From emails, to browsing history, to entering data in input boxes (search or otherwise) - it's all wide open to Comcast and other ISPs.
My company offers a free VPN - yes, it is in fact ad supported - but we don't store ANY personally identifiable info. Your company may offer one as well - often times you simply need to check with the IT personnel - they all usually have them (required for their jobs - but not yours necesarily) but may 'set you up' if you only asked.
happy VPN hunting.

If they would just make it a little bit palpable like offering 1.5 MB upload standard then alot of us wouldn't mind. |

I used you service for a while but because of some of the hoops it requires to logon , I probably got an Infostealer(trojan) linked to my system via one of your Ads or linked Websites, so you also need to be careful with your end to make it more difficult for this to happen.
It hasn't put me off your Service & the trojan got nowhere near my core system, it's just a note to help make you aware to be more careful! |
