I have just tried to opt-out by logging into comcast and clicking to disable this “service”. Unfortunately there own controls do not work. Where is the form to type in the MAC address?

@Howard: As much as I resent ComCast hijacking my internet connection to make money, I have to admit that after opting out (which I shouldn’t have had to do) AND typing in the MAC address of my router, they have stopped typosquatting domain names.

So although the process is a pain-in-the-@$$, it does work.

You can forget about the “opt-out”. I opted out twice. Once online. Then again on the telephone where they young lady said “I can see the ‘opt-out’ going into effect now.”

Yeh. Right. Two weeks later I still get their stupid ads.

Anyone know how to find another DNS?
