I see that Comcast is making a big splash on your editorial pages ("Comcast helps poor get online," Short Takes, Sept. 15).

Why don't you give the credit where it is due -- to the other Comcast customers who pay full price every month?

The ones who receive their bills and say, "Hey, hon, Comcast raised the rates again."

Lower access fees, no equipment rental fees, computer vouchers for the poor-- full-paying customers are the ones who gave away all these niceties.

Are we really to believe that Comcast is not passing the costs along?
