Re: Comcast better have one damn good explanation for this

No doubt, huh?

And with all these "they better not cut off X and not others" posts... I could care less if a site like google or youtube (expecially) were blocked for a while if those sites are bringing the network to a crawl. I didn't subscribe to the Comcast youtube online service, I subscribed to internet access. If a high volume of users are accessing any bw intense site and the entire network is crawling becuase of it, I would EXPECT them to pull the plug until they can figure out what's happening so that the rest of us can use the internet.

Ok, Ted, you're right. The Internet isn't something you can dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes...that get clogged. Did one of your staff try to send an Internet last Friday and you only now got your Internet today?

So are you saying people accessing google and youtube are bringing Comcast's network to a crawl?
