Go to http://www6.comcast.net/terms/subscriber/ and look for the paragraph entitled "Additional Provisions Applicable To High-Speed Internet Service" read paragraph 1b and then come back and tell us all that again.
Here is what it says in case you don't really want to look it up:
"Ownership of Addresses. You acknowledge that use of HSI does not give you any ownership or other rights in any Internet/on-line addresses provided to you, including but not limited to Internet Protocol ("IP") addresses, e-mail addresses and Web addresses. We may modify or change these addresses at any time without notice and shall in no way be required to compensate you for these changes. "
It's actually interesting reading as to what they are allowed to do and what you are NOT allowed to do as far as use of the internet via Comcast.

Well, I don't know about other people here but I paid for a connection to the Internet. When the $$$ changes hands from me to the ISP then *I* own that IP address. As such I demand the ISP provide me with complete and total access and not interfere with my traffic. And if I buy 1.5M up, 875 down then I should be able to use that much bandwidth 24x7 if I wish. Otherwise it is like renting a house but having the landlord say you can only use 50% of the living room and they are going to be intercepting and maybe modifying your USPS snail mail. I doubt anyone would stand for that. And I don't care what they do in other counties. This is the United States of America and I care what they do in THIS country.
