According to a letter I just received, addressed simply to Comcast @Home Customer (obviously before the breakup), rates are going up Oct. 1st in Philadelphia suburbs. $32.95 to $39.95 ($44.95 if you don't have cable TV).
Curious as to what happens to my @home.com e-mail address, too.
Couldn't there be some kind of distributed app made to clog these 800 numbers and discourage spammers? (a futile battle, I'll admit) Kinda like a seti@home using home PC's, corporate and university servers, at random so the phone company doesn't get wise. Maybe even call 'em over TCP/IP (no charges).

Just a thought.
