Re: wtf? comcast asked us not to use VPN

said by DMS1 See Profile :

Before everyone gets on their high horses, I suspect that the term "commercial purposes", which the TOS explicitly outlaws, has a very particular meaning. I take it to mean "in connection with running a business". In other words, you cannot use a residential account as the internet connection for a business. I would argue that an individual connecting into their place of work via a VPN is just a form of personal use. A similar distinction arises with car insurance, where a typical policy prohibits using ones car for business while not prohibiting using it to get to and from work.
That's what I hope, too. But the wording is ambiguous and probably intentionally so. I just don't see how they could prohibit connecting to work over a VPN to work from home. If they do that, it's 100% extortion.
