Agreed
I had a friend who was a contract lawyer, and pointed out several clauses in my wireless contract and my internet contract. It was pretty eye opening.
Needless to say, you'd be surprised what you agree to when you sign contracts:
"Please be aware that we may change your wireless device's software, applications or programming remotely, without notice."

- BHSPitMonkey 13y agoSpeak for yourself; I own my cable modem outright. But I do understand (and I don't care) that the ISP can essentially reprogram that device, since that's how the technology is intended to work. That device is just feeding into a router I control, anyway.
- nitrogen 13y agoIf they want to update the modem/baseband, why not just put "modem" or "baseband"? And why do they have to do it without notice?
