Something (kind of) similar happened to me, and I wrote up a little web page on my experience. The experience itself provides an interesting story, but afterwards Comcast (who the story was about), got mad and threatened to sue me. I got scared just like Spocko, but talked to a lawyer and he told me Comcast's bullying is just that and they didn't have much to actually do other than that.
Anyway, the first (long) part of the story is just the bad experience where I whine a lot, heh. Maybe you'll find it a good story. Anyway, scroll down towards the bottom to see where they threaten to sue me and where I bravely (stupidly?) try to stand up to them. It's been a year and still no lawsuit!
