TFA mentions a Comcast tech referencing RFC 6108:
"[JL] This is our web notification system, documented in RFC 6108 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6108 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6108, which has been in place for many years now."
However, RFC 6108 requirement for use R3.1.1 states:
R3.1.1. Must Only Be Used for Critical Service Notifications
Additional Background: The system must only provide
critical notifications, rather than trivial notifications.
An example of a critical, non-trivial notification, which
is also the primary motivation of this system, is to advise
the user that their computer is infected with malware, that
their security is at severe risk and/or has already been
compromised, and that it is recommended that they take
immediate, corrective action NOW.
RFC 6108:

- kkmx 9y agoYea they don't really follow that RFC, they just use that RFC as an all-justification for their action.
- robterrell 9y agoI'm sure the comcast "tech" knows what's in the RFC. Look in the top-right corner; he's one of its authors. He's also replying in this thread.
- AndyMcConachie 9y agoDo you consider upselling subscribers on modems a critical service notification? I don't.
