They also use the HTML injection (which I assume is why this was posted to HN) for the "five strikes" "Copyright Alerts" bullshit too; if you have an allegation flung against you, all of your HTML will have a Comcast popup injected into it until the account owner logs in and acknowledges that they were bad.
As an aside, check out the "Flexible Data Option" linked from that page for some other laughs - a $5 discount to drop your quota from 300 GB to 5, and also your overages suddenly become five times more expensive ($1/GB vs. $.20/GB). That's some nice math.

- timothyb89 13y agoTo be fair, the "Flexible-Data Option" seems to only be available on the "Economy Plus" plan, which is their $20/m @ 3Mbps option. Still an annoyingly small quota, though.
- TeMPOraL 13y agoThis is scary. What the hell are they using to move bits around, avian carriers? In Poland I can get 20Mbps for $3/m (and no data limit!), not the other way around.

- pstack 13y ago$5 off a $70 bill is not "good" for your granny. Frankly, any broadband wired home should get a trivial "email access" style service for a minimal fee just to cover the accounting and maintenance. Your granny should be paying $5 or $10/mo; not getting $5 off.
