IF..it is true however, I can agree that there might be some cause for concern. But, it needs to be pointed out that they have every right under their TOS to cut off and deny service to abusers and those who might otherwise harm the rights of the rest of us to use and enjoy our connections.
Fine, then cut off their connection for TOS violations! I think Comcast doesn't have the balls to do this because it will "make them look bad" so instead, they're screwing with the TCP packets and denying it publicly.

Gaithersburg, MD		 That's a poor solution. The de-serviced subscribers would then complain that Comcast kicked them off.

I agree that it's a poor solution... FOR COMCAST! It, however, is NOT a poor solution for their customers because there are legit uses for bit-torrent.

I would rather see the abusers kicked off rather than having Comcast screw with the TCP packets.
