My ISP doesn’t have anywhere near as shady marketing practices. Does yours regularly ignore do-not-call and do-not-mail requests? Do they send misleading envelopes that don’t have their brand on the outside? Mine (AT&T) doesn’t.

AT&T is nortourius for this in my area. They will send letters on cardstock with handwritten font, an obscured return address, and a stamp that looks hand placed. No branding until you actually open it.

I was speaking specifically to their predatory "intro rates" and added fees which obscure the actual price of the service.

Comcast most definitely does this in my area, and even withholds higher speed tiers unless you bundle with TV and phone.

Luckily, I have the choice of getting gfiber for 1/3 the cost of comcast.
