Comcast seems to be continuing discrimination against Vonage.
An anonymous comment today points out that Vonage-Comcast complaints continue, dramatic data here. Paddy Link, the Comcast PR person who told me No, No, No, it is a Vonage Problem has not been back to me with any backup of that claim. She said that Vonage admitted it, but could point to NO VONAGE STATEMENTS to confirm her claim. She said she'd get specifics from Comcast, but nobody from Comcast has presented specifics to me to date.
In the absence of specific explanation to the contrary, it sure looks like Deliberate Discrimination to me.
David Weinberger points out that Shaw, a Canadian Cableco is purposely degrading Vonage packets too. Only Shaw has the stones to offer its readers un-degraded service for a $10/month de-degrading fee.

This blog is dedicated to all the liars out there that claim not to discriminate!!
I'm talking about Employers!!
Funny how they put on the bottom of the application that they want to know your background, and in small print they "claim" not to discriminate.
I recently went to Comcast, went to my interview, and passed with flying colors. They had me fill out a w-2 and was ready to get me started. The only thing they had to do was a background check, etc..
They called me a week later and rescinded their offer for employment!
A message to Comast and all the other liars out there: Before you call someone out there for a 2 1/2 hr. interview, just do the the background check 1st. Apparently, that's all that matters these days. You can have an excellent resume, with great references. But, god forbid if you have a bad credit score or criminal background (misdemeanor) over 8 yrs. ago.
Qualifications don't matter.
Funny thing is, I was thinking of turning them down anyways. I'm worth a lot more than what they we're willing to pay. Let them screw someone else out there!!
I should have told that to the Human resource person ,but I was too much in shock and pissed. I did however ask them " I thought you didn't discriminate?"
They avoided the question and just said they had the right to resend the offer. Lame!!
I will be canceling my services with Comcast and also boycotting them. Beware the Liars!!!
