In general I agree with the sentiment behind this post. Except, I disagree with one sentence that's key to the context in the case of Comcast:

"If you don't like what they do, try and get the law changed." I think this needs to be appended with "and do not buy goods and/or services from them."

Unfortunately, in my case with Comcast, as with many high speed ISPs around the country, there is 0 competition. In order to get speeds higher than 5Mbps in my area, the only option I have is Comcast. In an anti-competitive / monopoly market, I lose the ability to vote with my wallet by finding a competitor whose practices I agree with.
