Of course you can still comment on the upcoming Comcast-Time Warner merger
Sadly I don't think the comments themselves matter so much as the final number. The FCC Comment counter might as well serve as a petition.

Day 1 - Started my new ISP. Real excited.
Day 2 - Dealing with local gov for necessary permits for approval.
Day 45 - Still Waiting for approval. Still only eating ramen.
Day 340 - Finally got approval. Getting ready to put fiber in the ground
Day 341 - Got served with notices from Comcast. No idea what lawsuit is about in spite of having read through it 34 times already. Local gov temporarily revoked my permits. Said they had to look into something first.
Day 345 - Local city council member accused me of eating puppies and kittens in spite of the fact that these days I can only afford Ramen noodles. Claims we need ethical companies like Comcast to provide internet, not heathens such as myself. I was also referred to as a socialist and a job killer.
Day 360 - Local newspaper somehow obtained picture of me passed out in college with genitals drawn onto my face with permanent marker. Headline read 'Junkie tries to start ISP in hopes of collecting peoples personal information.' How did anyone get a picture of me from 1976?
Day 688 - My lawyer asked for an extension regarding the Comcast lawsuit. After the judge dismissed us he winked at the Comcast lawyer and seemed to mouth the words 'Free HBO'. Not sure what to think of that. I've been to the courthouse so many times the security people that pat me down know my first, middle, and last name.
Day 700 - Police came to my door last night. Told me I needed to come with them and that they had a warrant for my arrest. Officers were kind enough to let me grab my diary so I could write about the experience. Was brought to a prison featuring a giant Comcast logo out front. No idea whats going on at this point.
Day 701 - My cell mates name is Scott. Apparently he was placed here a while after trying to install his own T1 connection. Nice guy. Still don't know why I'm here though. Haven't even gotten my phone call.
Day 735 - Up to this point I haven't seen my lawyer or a judge for that matter. The guards have us pass time during the day by watching Hulu. Of course the connection is so bad we have to refresh most of the time meaning we pretty much just watch ads all day. Guards don't even let us pick the ad we want to watch.
Day 741 - Before lights out a nurse came around to all the cells to give us vacations. I got my tetanus shot last year but apparently I needed another dose because of a newly discovered super tetanus.
Day 742 - I heard a whistle blower who tried to escape from Comcast was shot last night. My entire body feels burning and itchy at night. When I was scratching the swelling on my arms, a lump of rotten flesh dropped off. What the hell is happening to me?
Day 848 - Fever gone but itchy. Hungry and eat doggy food. Itchy Itchy Scott came. Ugly face so killed him. Tasty.
Day 850 -
4 Itchy Tasty
