Will A DirecTV Customer On Comcast's Payroll Switch?







Will A DirecTV Customer On Comcast's
Payroll Switch?

Will A DirecTV Customer On Comcast's
Payroll Switch?
08/20/2004 12:52 PM

Comcast's latest attempt at "reality TV" has some quite skeptical. Broadband Reports tells us that the latest advertising gimmick from the company to try to win back customers they've been losing to satellite TV is to put on a "reality TV" style commercial, where they follow around a happy DirecTV user as he debates whether or not to switch. Of course, the extra detail is that the happy DirecTV user just happens to be a copywriter for the ad agency Comcast hired to create these commercials. Everyone involved claims that he's free to make up his own mind -- but if he chooses poorly, it could mean (a) the end result of the experiment is never told to the public and (b) the ad agency loses a big customer in Comcast. But, they still insist... no bias at all. Of course, these days, I think most people are skeptical enough to already assume that the whole thing has been scripted in advance.

After finally admit ting they had a problem with zombie machines, and coming up with a relatively intelligent solution (only blocking port 25 on those customers who appear to be spamming), it looks like Comcast is seeing some amount of success in slowing down (what they admit is) the "world's #1 spammer": themselves. The new strategy has already cut the amount of Comcast originated spam by 35%. Obviously, there's still a quite a lot of spam to go, but to cut it that much in just about a month is a good sign.

Comcast's WiFi router lets your ISP spy

Comcast's WiFi router lets your ISP spy
on you, shut you down
05/07/2004 03:35 AM
Om Malik warns that the Linksys WiFi boxes that Comcast is supplying to its customers allow Comcast to remotely detect and disconnect devices on your home network, like your VoIP phone (which competes with Comcast's long-distance service).
If you scroll through the press release, you come to a section which says that the gateway supports a CableHome 1.0 "for the ability to deliver secure, managed services from Comcast’s head-end network to the subscribers’ home network." Now there is a big problem with this thing - for instance, the Cablehome 1.0 standard allows cable operators to snoop around their home networks and learn things such as how many computers are attached to the gateway and what kind of traffic they are generating/receiving. (Beware Vonage fans, this could be used to detect your Vonage ATA as well.)

In case you were wondering, where’s the juice. Go to the Cable Labs website and read this document. Scroll down to Section 6.3.1 and read:

The goals for the CableHome Management Portal include:
* Enable viewing of LAN IP Device information obtained via the CableHome DHCP Portal (CDP)
* Enable viewing of the results of LAN IP Device performance monitoring done by the CableHome Test Portal (CTP)
* Provide the capability to disable LAN segments
