I've been out of the area over the last couple years. </div><div><br></div><div>I've always and only ever gotten Comcast Business Class.

It would seem that wouldn't change for business class users, seeing that you have a much higher likelihood of having HIPAA, SOX, PCI, ITIL, etc. data on your network. Those items ALONE are enough to whack Comcast with a federal compliance sized stick and say "cut it out". </div><div><br></div><div>Do you guys think they've even come close to thinking that one through? :D</div><div><br></div><div>I think that once users point out they have personal data on their network and have every intention of pursuing them legally if they do that in their home, this one just might quietly die.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>--jms</div></body></html>
