Comcast Targets Latinos

Breaking news isn't always nuclear missiles being stockpiled, murder, death and the rest of the awful truth we have to search through to get a decent story. Sometimes it's the swindling of Spanish Speaking consumers that gets a 5 minute time slot on the news.

According to the screencast the user made, English-speaking Comcast customers in the Miami area could sign up for 12 megabit per second internet service for $42.95 per month or 16 Mbps for $52.95. When he clicks over the Spanish version of the site, the packages become 6 Mbps for $42.95 and 8 Mbps for $52.95.

Oh yes, I know the pain too well. My parents were consistently over charged when we first got to the United States, many years ago. I quickly learned math and English and soon, I started catching these companies trying to swindle my parents, and was the spokesman on their behalf many times. It's saddening to see companies taking advantage of people.

Could this be an isolated incident? A typo? Some say no, others just don't care.
