Screw the rules, they have money!

No...wait, they are being taken into consideration.

There is a petition for those that are concerned.

That site? How can anybody take it seriously if we get petitions like deporting Justin Bieber?

Rub those nipples, Comcast folks.

Oh, the only cable provider near me is Comcast. I'm from South Jersey and never heard of Time Warner. Oh wait, thats a lie, aren't they the ones that used to own Comedy Central and I believe Tom Cruise tried suing them?


I bleed Orange, Green, and Red.

Allegedly Comcast has a data cap of 300 GB/month, but I have never seen it enforced.

In my area, you pretty much have a choice between Comcast and Verizon for internet, and FiOS isn't everywhere. Verizon flat out said they won't expand it anymore, so they're shooting themselves in the foot since the mobile cash cow is collapsing. I have Comcast right now and I can say the internet service quality is light years ahead of Verizon. Cable is also better than Time Warner.

I had Time Warner when I lived in Ohio. HATED HATED HATED it. And the service guy randomly showed up sometimes at my apartment after dark for a sales pitch every now and then. Yeah, totally not creepy.

I've read stories about it being enforced I go through 300GB pretty easily in one month.

in that case its chosing the lesser of two evils and FiOS is complete and utter GARBAGE. I can't wait for Google Fiber.

It's the official white house petition site not some fan site. If they check anything it's their own website.
