New Comcast Users...

Who may have used the "transition wizard" to do your transfer from ATT Broadband, I'm not sure how true the following is, but please read....


Users of Comacast transition wizard may be exposing private information
BroadBandReports.com reveals some underhanded tactics used by Comcast to get an agreement signed by readers - embedding it into the "transition wizard," which was used many readers to switch over from the attbi.com address.

An excerpt:

Any Comcast user that actually installed the Transition Wizard has given Comcast permission to do the following;

1. arbitrarily open and read your email without your knowledge and/or consent
2. perform a credit check on you and then share that info with whomever they choose
3. Perform firmware upgrades to your cable modem at their discretion, regardless of who owns it.


"You also agreed not to participate in any future class action suits that may be brought against Comcast for whatever reason. You agreed to this and more when you clicked on the 'I Agree' button during the initial installation phase. This was not your t
ypical software EULA (End User License Agreement), but rather the new "Comcast Service Agreement" and that my friends, was probably the primary purpose of trying to ram that software down subscribers throats. I downloaded the software a few days ago with the intent of installing to see how many times it tried to phone home prior to 6/30. My suspicions were up immediately when they offered it. It would have been very simple, as pointed out elsewhere, to simply email instructions on how to make the change."
