If your ISP does this sort of stupidity, dump them for one who doesn't. In Canada (Ontario mostly), that means dumping Rogers (who does this throttling B.S.) for providers like Teksavvy (assuming you can get DSL where you live). If enough people do this, the ISP's that throttle will likely change their tune. |

That's the thing I can't get DSL here. It's either Comcast or Comcast for high speed internet. |

said by Charlie Douglas of Comcast :
[Comcast] has a responsibility to manage our network to ensure our customers have the best service, and we use available technologies to do so."
"We're not blocking access to any application, and we don't throttle any traffic,"
So which is it? Sounds like a contradiction to me...

Covad claims to me on the phone that they have no restrictions or throttling and I'm dropping Comcast to give them a try on a T1 connection. It's more expensive but it's only for a year and I'll see whether Comcast's promised high speeds but their delivered low speeds is the same with another company. |

No DSL ?
DSL Extreme works on both Verizon and AT&T lines, and doesn't come bundled with cr@p.

'We are just forging RST packets, spoofing IPs and launching denial of service attack onto other networks'
Yeah, I guess they didn't just block the application or 'throttle' any traffic... 
Seriously though, they should have their 'common carrier' statues and privilege taken away, or have a class-action lawsuit filed against them for what they are doing. |

What gets me is I went to load up steam just to get the bioshock demo and because it uses a bit torrent derivative I was waiting for almost 8 hours and didn't get nothing.
I had to bounce to spawnpoint.com to download the demo. It made me waste a gig of bandwidth. Guess these dumbasses don't understand that they are doing more damage then good.

Is the practice of deep packet inspection even legal with out a warrant and by a corporation. It sounds like it's an invasion of privacy to me, unless it's in the TOS and then it just outrageous. |

Can this rumor please die Steam does not use bittorrent. They had hired Brahm Cohen at some point that is as close to bittorrent as it gets.
