It's pretty funny that an ISP can't get their certs together, but geez, temporarily accept the cert, read the service agreement and get on with your life. Are you seriously worried about a man-in-the-middle attack here?

Trying to impress first tier forum support with your long history with computers isn't helpful to anyone, and sounding off about a serious legal issue in bold and italics is probably just making the lawyers giggle. It's nice to report the problem and follow up on it. There's no reason to be a dick about it.

> but geez, temporarily accept the cert,

That might be acceptable advice on HN, but it's lousy advice for the general public.

For some types of certificate errors, sure. But we're talking about expiration here. You can still check that the certificate was validly issued and (theoretically) that it hasn't been revoked. The certificate is only a year and a half old, compared to the verisign certificate with a 10 year life span that signed it.

I agree. To me the story here is that Comcast is a huge company that takes way too long to process simple changes. But in reality, who the fuck cares if the cert for that page expired? It's not like their collecting your bank records.
