So true.

Last year I had to deal with Comcast with regards to an identity theft.

When I refused to jump through their extra hoops (I had provided them more than enough information to prove my claim, they wanted everything just short of a DNA Swab,) they told me that I would never be able to get service through them unless I kissed the ring.

When I told them that I base my residency choices on being able to -not- have Comcast as a cable provider, their script rather obviously did not have a response to that based on where the conversation went after.

They -expect- to be a a monopoly, and their internal policies already reflect that.
