No, I get surprisingly decent service from Comcast plus I'm obviously their customer not their product. How about "more weaselly than Facebook"?

  > I'm obviously their customer not their product This is the same comcast we're talking about right? The one that's spent millions lobbying for the right to monitor what their customers do online and sell it to advertisers?

    It's a rigged game for sure. Would Comcast and the other ISPs be fighting so hard for these rights if they didn't have Google and Facebook as models of success using them?

      Probably not; but regardless of "why", you're definitely also one of their products :)

  > I'm obviously their customer not their product Are you sure you are not both? ATT gives you a discount on your monthly fee if you allow them to inject their own ads. It was opt-in, but it would not surprise me if they don't just do it to all users. Plus, if you are using their DNS, I'd assume they are slurping in all of that data.
