And the customer has the right to not give the ISP their hard earned
money!

Although the waters are somewhat if ComCast is like the average cell
phone company and asks that you agree to give them a certain amount of
money in order to get the service...  But, if those terms aren't
acceptable, then why sign up for the service in the first place?

Anyway, back to work for me.
