I'd definitely report it and switch ISPs if it wasn't fixed in short order. Even if it was an account to something I didn't really care all that much about like controlling my DVR.

Their response has been, "just clear your browser history", and "lots of sites do this." That and hanging up on me twice when I asked to speak to a manager.

I've not seen a URL like this for years, and I find it shocking from a company with over 600,000 subscribers, but want opinions on how much of a fuss to make.
