I was thinking about mounting an all out attack, including suggestions 
from the fine folks here, but I want to be very careful.

I figured PUC, FCC, local board of this kind of thing, a few 
congresscritters, etc.  Obviously there is no shortage of pissed off 
Comcast customers to join me.

Here's the careful part: I don't want to be the guy who killed the 
golden goose.  Let's imagine, for a second, that I was somewhat 
successful (it takes a lot of imagination, but let's go with it).  I 
might actually get caps in place - caps that are more serious than no 
official caps at all.

The service was restored.  I'm pissed as hell at the bloated 
corporation, but I chose to direct my attack at their lack of customer 
service.  Even if there *were* a rule, no one should be treated like 
that.  We'll see what kind of response I get before I go further.


Thanks.
