It's to their detriment to do this. If this is on your Gmail, mark that email as spam. With enough people doing that, Comcast will either have to be more transparent about those emails or face the consequences of getting dinged by Gmail.

One of the potential issues with this is, is that actual service emails might also end up getting blocked.

With Comcast maintaining pipes that carry traffic to Google, I wonder how a Google vs. Comcast event would look.

Comcast would lose. No one gives a shit about which ISP they use, but cut off their Gmail and they will be pissed.

Comcast dodged a bullet when the FCC reversed their common carrier finding. Blocking Google services is the sort of malicious content blocking that would justify re-examine that.

Comcast is also about to face a ton of new ISP competition: Starlink is expanding, and Verizon is building out their residential 5G service. My city, which only has Comcast now and never got FiOS, will be fully lit for Verizon res 5G within 2 years. Life is about to get harder for Comcast as an ISP.

Maybe ISPs would finally be forced to act as impartial common carriers
