Comcast is the worst company in America.  [2010 Poll]

If you happen to care for your general rights in this little thing we call life, you may have stopped by Consumerist once or twice. Run by the same folks behind Consumer Reports, the Consumerist focuses more on personal acts of wrong by any and all corporate entities directed at consumers. Over the last few weeks, company after company has been knocked out of the running with only one — Comcast — living ’til the end… I’m sure many of you out...

Comcast movie description writers don’t leave any stone uncovered, truth untold.

Comcast movie description writers don’t leave any stone uncovered, truth untold.

It used to be that Comcast was one of my least favorite if not most hated media providers. When they first started enacting the 250GB cap on monthly internet, I decided that was the last straw. Funny how time changes things isn’t it? For now, Comcast looks pretty mild in comparison to other ISP’s in particular who are pushing much stricter monthly bandwidths, some barely making it into the double digit range.

Facebook was almost Comcastic — Why?

Facebook was almost Comcastic — Why?

The big news in the media world this week is Comcast’s acquisition of NBC. With anti-trust/monopolistic worries creeping to the forefront of our minds, we can all agree that it is a sensible purchase.

New news today filtering out that details Comcast’s plans and strategy on this long and winding road to gobbling up a company had many stops along...

Comcast has it all wrong: “Consumers need to change to fit our old, dying, ridiculous business models…”

Ever concern yourself with such trivial things as how the media/content industry is changing to adapt to the digital age and fit around what end users really want? Comcast apparently gives two sh*ts about you and what you want. I’ll let the man, Comcast COO Steve Burk, dig his own grave: An entire generation is growing up, if we don’t figure out how to change that behavior so it respects copyright and subscription revenue on the part of distributors,...

Comcast back and more bastardly than ever. Throttling your internet like it’s 2002

Comcast back and more bastardly than ever.  Throttling your internet like it’s 2002

Remember those stupid “It’s Comcastic” commercials. Ya, I like many others had a few choice opinions about them too. If you thought just because there hasn’t been any mention of “Comcast” and “Throttling” in the same sentence for some time that somehow all the parties involved forgot, you were grossly wrong. New details of a retooled and just as anti-consumer policy have surfaced. In fact, Comcast’s new throttling...
