Comcastastic

My Internet connection via Comcast has slowed to a crawl, and it is not because I have a virus or spyware or whatever (the only thing hooked up to my Internet connection is my Macbook via its Airport Extreme, which is immune to that kinda crap and besides it operates at full speed when Im at work). So it looks like tomorrow morning I get to go online with Compost's craptastic customer "support", which is sure to get my day off to a Comcastatic craptastic start.

I swear, if these mofo's didn't have a monopoly on Internet service in my area, I'd switch to someone else. It wouldn't surprise me to find out they've throttled me for downloading too much data on my "unlimited" connection. Why, I downloaded two different Linux distributions this month, as well as all the updates to MacOS 10.5 (twice). Whoa! We can't have someone actually use the service that they're paying for, gosh darn it!
