RoadRunner nonsense

[Phil Thayer]

Go to http://www6.comcast.net/terms/subscriber/ and look for the
paragraph entitled "Additional Provisions Applicable To High-Speed
Internet Service"  read paragraph 1b and then come back and tell us all
that again.
 
Here is what it says in case you don't really want to look it up:
 
"Ownership of Addresses. You acknowledge that use of HSI does not give
you any ownership or other rights in any Internet/on-line addresses
provided to you, including but not limited to Internet Protocol ("IP")
addresses, e-mail addresses and Web addresses. We may modify or change
these addresses at any time without notice and shall in no way be
required to compensate you for these changes. "

It's actually interesting reading as to what they are allowed to do and
what you are NOT allowed to do as far as use of the internet via
Comcast.

	Well, I don't know about other people here but I paid for a
connection to the Internet.  When the $$$ changes hands from me to the
ISP then *I* own that IP address.  As such I demand the ISP provide me
with complete and total access and not interfere with my traffic.  And
if I buy 1.5M up, 875 down then I should be able to use that much
bandwidth 24x7 if I wish.
	 
	Otherwise it is like renting a house but having the landlord say
you can only use 50% of the living room and they are going to be
intercepting and maybe modifying your USPS snail mail.  I doubt anyone
would stand for that.  And I don't care what they do in other counties.
This is the United States of America and I care what they do in THIS
country.
