Facebook page: Comcast Is Extortion

Because it is.

It’s time we begin our fight back against fascism by fighting companies that control our government with their money. Unfortunately, this is going to be painful. SO…..so painful.

It’s my opinion we must start with Comcast: first because it is the most hated company in America, and second because its business model is based on extortion (or bait and switch, depending on which method it has used on you).

Let me ask you: have you ever been told by Comcast that X service will cost Y, only to find out six months later that you’ve been paying the wrong amount all along, and that you owe Z to restore your service?

If you haven’t, congratulations, you’ve ordered one service and because of that, Comcast is unable to hide its extortion costs within a “bundle” you never agreed to nor never would have agreed to had you known the true cost up front.

This is why Comcast happily provides new and additional services right over the phone: they bait and switch you into agreeing to a price that they never intend to honor for services.

Here’s a great example of how Comcast bullies anyone it can: once it got Netflix to pay up, download speeds improved immediately. This is how Comcast treats you, the customer. The only difference: the media doesn’t give a shit about you, so they don’t report it.

It’s time we boycott Comcast. If you ever want your agency back from these bullying, extortionist companies, you have to be willing to give them up. I despise AT&T, but I’ve decided I’d rather pay them hundreds more per month (which I most definitely do NOT have) than to give Comcast another dollar.

This is all we have left in our arsenal. Our lack of attention and vigilance over our government has put us in this spot. Are you willing to accept the painful decision to boycott a company that lies to you to reap the benefits in the long run? If you are able to find any alternative at all, I suggest you use it.
