Could you describe the smell?

So glad the internet doesn't transmit olfactory information.

In which case I sue Comcast, collect the money you paid them plus huge punitive damages, then get FIOS from Verizon.

Then if you try to stop them, I will have enough money to buy a commercial connection from MFS.

Then if you stop them, I buy it from Level 3 Communications.

Then buy it from MCI.
Then buy it from AT&T.
Then buy it from Sprint.

And if it goes beyond that, I'll have enough money to pay for a direct gigabit connection to the nearest internet exchange point which is 75 miles away in Warrenton, VA. It costs about 5 grand a mile to lay fiber, so...

And then I could sell the surplus bandwidth and buy this house, and run my own carrier.

And at that point, you could never disconnect me.
Given the general rise in expenses and fall in the typical standard of living, the future ain't what it used to be.
