Hi, Gail.

Take a look at this article:
"Directing Traffic: How was Comcast's traffic interference confirmed?"
http://www1.pressdemocrat.com/article/20071020/NEWS/710200361

And then this::
"Competition drives down Comcast profit"
http://www1.pressdemocrat.com/article/20071026/NEWS/710260381

I wonder if these are related...
