Two East Bay residents are suing Comcast for plugging their home's wireless router into what they call a power-wasting, Internet-clogging, privacy threatening network of public Wi-Fi hotspots. The class-action suit, filed last week in U.S. District Court in San Francisco on behalf of Toyer Grear and daughter Joycelyn Harris, claims Comcast is "exploiting them for profit" by using their Pittsburg home's router as part of a nationwide network of public hotspots.
