erRor67 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 ComCast was always know for giving in and giving up the names and contact information. I suppose it was just a matter of tme till one person sued them. I wonder who will win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who will win?with ID fraud in the headlines one would think a big company like comcast wouldnt give information to a 3rd party without a legal court document or ruling. busted.

Guest Blank Space Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Note to self: Don't use Comcast. (Although I'm tempted to, SBC DSL has sucked a lot)I hope Comcast loses. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
