Hispanic Market Discrimination or Website Oversight?
Here’s a story from the Miami Herald. It seems that recently when one Miami-area customer went to check out Comcast’s rates for internet service on their site in English and then in Spanish he was presented with two different deals. English-speaking costumers could get 12 Mbps (megabits per second) service for $42.95 per month or 16 Mbps for $52.95, while Spanish-speaking customers were presented with an offer of $42.95 for 6 Mbps, or $52.95 for 8 Mbps.
Comcast promised to get to the bottom of it, but when contacted, they were still waiting to hear back on an official explanation from higher-ups.

Webmaster Harvey P. Pedigrew III expressed shock at all the hullabaloo. “I mean jeez come on guys … it’s just a few keystrokes we’re talking about here. What’s an Mbps anyway? Do people really want more of them?”
