Over 10 months, Comcast received nearly 12,000 customer complaints, many __33__ to its monthly data cap and overage （超过额度的）charges.
Some Americans are getting so __34__ with Internet providers they're just giving up. A recent study found that the number of Americans with high-speed Internet at home today __35__ fell during the last two years, and 15% of people now consider themselves to be "cord-cutters."
