Had you read the fucking article instead of trying to get first-somewhat-sensible post, you would have seen Mozilla admitted that they do try to keep vulnerabilites quiet until a patch can be found.
And that's a bad thing because...? Any ISP could do this if they wanted to, so why does this make Google the bad guy? At least we aren't paying to have our internet travels recorded and analyzed.
I actually work for one, but I wouldn't recommend my company. We're overpriced. I'd say go to Tucows. On their reseller site, they have a "refer me to a reseller" feature at http://referrals.tucows.com/.
Ok, so let me get this straight. You will not buy domain names from VeriSign because of stupidity that they pulled trying to make more money, but you will buy a domain from eNom who constantly perpetuates Domain Registry of America's fraud and scams?
Why pay for a tool that destroys your hard drive (clearly says will make drive UNUSABLE since it also destroys magnetic servo tracks) when you can get some cheap fun and education at the same time with a simple torx driver? Just open the drive, learn about how it works while taking it apart, then destroy the platters (translated: have fun!).
What's the transfer limit? That's the one thing preventing me from moving to Europe - most ISPs have some sort of transfer limit that, when triggered, I've heard puts you on dial-up speeds.
If you think you're paying out your ears for Comcast, you need to re-check your pricing on Verizon. Verizon DSL 3.0M/768K is $37.95/mo plus a $39.95 "modem-fee". The same speed on Comcast is $42.95/mo plus $3.00/mo if you need to lease a modem. At a $5.00 differencem which becomes only $2.00 in the first year when you figure in the modem (of course, BYOM is always better), I hardly see how Verizon could possibly be 1/4 of the price of Comcast.
You also need to account for the fact that to even get DSL in the first place, you have to have a working phone line. At least with Comcast, you can get service without having cable-tv - it's just $15.00/mo more, which is less expensive than any phone line from a bell that I've ever seen.
Free (or low cost)
In your rush to debunk FP, you neglected to RTS (read the summary), and the summary is correct in it's assertion that it is indeed not free.
Cisco is at risk. If they don't fix a now widely-known bug, they will lose customers, which is why they tried covering it up in the first place. Stupidity.
Like they would believe that one... "Yeah, I just carry it because I am supposed to, but I really haven't used it." Come on. If they are interested enough to look at the blank volume, they WILL find the hidden one.
Watch how fast the local IT guru is out of business because his customers now have systems that don't need maintenance, at least not enough to warrant hiring somebody to do it. Ease of maintenance is an IT-job killer. If it's so easy, who the hell needs an IT guy?

I've had Comcast since before AT&T took it over (then was retaken back by Comcast), going on 7 years now, and I have yet to have a serious issue. I'd say that's a pretty damn good track record if you ask me.

I'm in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and it works fine for me.

Really? Nothing from VeriSign? So are we to assume that you would never buy a .com or .net domain?
Nothing to see here, move along...

The encryption scheme you rely on today might be full of holes just a few years down the road.
If is will be full of holes just a few years down the road, wouldn't it then be correct to say it's full of holes now?!
Ever launched one from an ant-hill? I did... poor ants... now imagine that Kennedy Space Center is the anthill...

I have seen Commercial in the topic change spelling 4 times now...

That's 30 million, not 3.

Maybe so, but Bush can't serve again (Thank God!!!), so I hope we are presented with a better Republican candidate...
Oh damn, I don't even get to stand on it... One hundred million dollars - seems a little Dr. Evil-esque.
