Comcast sued — again

News about Comcast just keeps on popping up. This time, the firm Gilbert Randolph has announced that it has filed a nationwide lawsuit against Comcast for falsely advertising its Internet service. Just when Comcast was looking to get itself back on track, this happens.

The case alleges that Robert Topolski tried to use a filesharing service and found that Comcast blocked his access, which goes against Comcast’s claim of offering “unfettered access”.

It’s alleged that Comcast kept its users from accessing filesharing services when it explicitly said it would not. People are apparently still very upset with Comcast. This whole case is a bit nuts. Why don’t these people just ask for refunds? What great justice are they going to achieve?

The issue here seems to be that people are going after compensation, or, more to the point, trying to make Comcast look bad. We’re not siding with Comcast, but we’ve seen enough of these headlines for the time being. From what we can tell, Comcast has changed its service and now grants full access to filesharing networks. What more do people want? Heads on plates?
