[wplug] Comcast High-Speed Internet

[Bryon Gill]

Setting up linux support with Comcast was a giant
hassle, but I eventually got them to do it.  You just
have to show the technician who shows up at your door
how to set up a proxy using mozilla (or your browser
of choice) instead of through internet explorer. 
Their service, as a company, is uninformed and awful,
but they are the only broadband option available in my
area.  Once you've authenticated through their proxy
the modem seems to serve up just plain old dhcp.

Oh, how I wish Telerama serviced North Fayette.

What is wrong is that we have invented the technology to eliminate scarcity, but we are deliberately throwing it away
to benefit those who profit from scarcity.
