Quoting Nathan Hoover (nathan at foo-o-rama.com):

> Even the much-maligned AT&T (which I have now) and Comcast

Maligning Comcast _is_ an honourable and venerated tradition, and I
discern that I haven't lately done my part.  So:

(In short, they shaft customers and sabotage those customers' Internet
traffic, and then lie about it.)


I trust that SBC^W AT^T's suckage is better known, starting with their
enthusiastic support of and participation in NSA's warrantless
surveillance.
