Right. The FCC wants to help me. So why is it that my cable company who shall remain nameless (COMCAST) just sent me a list of "good/better/best" options for my high speed Internet connection - with appropriate price jumps. Could it be because I live in a section of town where it'll be very profitable for them? While people 10 miles away still have dial-up? Choice with cable companies = choice with cell phone companies - it's either "Please, sir, may I have another?" or "Please, sir, may I have another?" They can all burn in hell.... Hope I don't come off as too angry. Oh, and don't get me started on friggin' XM/Sirius.... Yeah. Right. The FCC wants to help me.
