This Forum Will Be Dead
This has become a hot topic on the NFL Forum and it appears that our (fill in the blank) ISP will close down their forums except for help. Check it out since there is substantial details on that board.
A few years back I discovered that help was monitored mostly by volunteers. They may have provided service but they also had access (limited) to personal information that alone makes me question the sanity of Comcast. Here is some financials on Comcast.
The book value of the company nearly doubled from $8.19 a share in 1999 to $15 a share in 2009. Revenues grew sixfold from 1999′s $6 billion to almost $36 billion in 2009. Net profit margin rose from 4.2% in 1999 to 8.4% in 2009, with operating margins improving 31 percent and return on equity doubling to 6.7 percent in the same time span. Between 1999 and 2009, return on capital nearly tripled to 7 percent.
