If a ship were sinking and you gave passengers over a year to abandon ship some would still not be ready and some would not even know the ship was sinking. Let people figure it out for themselves they were warned and then even given and extension. When this first surfaced I called Comcast and got the straight dope, I didn’t have to do anything.
