Comcast annual Xmas gift
Here we are, just after Thanksgiving... And Comcast has started its annual Xmas screw job!
On the plate this year we have:
- Netnews is shutting down. The Ex-ATTBI customers, who have been enjoying virtually unlimited USENET access, will be transitioned to Comcast's crappy dealio with Giganews.
- To soften the blow, Comcast is granting us a boon - they're increasing everyone's Giganews service from 1 GB/month to 2 GB. And now it won't include headers. Of course, that's still only 2/30 of what we had under @Home. And it's Giganews' short gigs.
- Comcast is beginning to roll out 5.9% price increases.
It's the Comcast way - less service for more $.
Happy Xmas!
- Dan.
