It's been fun y'all.
Howdy,
I called Comcast, chose "Modify Service" from the voicemaze,
and spoke with a sales person.
I explained that I wanted a reduction in my monthly cost
because Comcast had apparently decided to decrease the
service they had committed to provide me for the price I
agreed to pay.
He reduced my bill by just over $10 per month for the next
six months.
Given the rates I would have to pay for direct access to a
Usenet server, that will keep me going for years.
All the best,
Where are you located??

Big Mistake! They are giving the guy a reduction for 6 months. At the
same time, without really stressing the point, they enacted a new term
contract locking him in for 2 more years. After 6 months, his rate
will go up to one that is higher than his original contract, so they
will quickly get that money back. If he wants to cancel, he'll get a
whopping "early termination" fee of perhaps a few hundred dollars.
