"Comcast uses the latest technologies to manage our network to provide a fast, reliable broadband experience for all of our customers. We do not block access to any applications, including BitTorrent and do not alter Internet speed. Comcast currently works with a number of industry groups to share knowledge and information that will help us provide the best service, and will continue to do so."
Except, as we mentioned the other day, the evidence is now clear that Comcast is disrupting BitTorrent seeding. Well, it's not Comcast's fault that Bittorrent is such a shoddy protocol/application that malformed forged packets can cause it to break and cause slow speeds.
Everything they said is 100% perfectly true...and 100% absolutely misleading. They know it. We know it. But the 99.9% of clueless uninformed consumers don't which is why the public doesn't care. |

Bingo....no one cares.
This site can put the same story up day after day and the same handful of people can moan about it again and again.
Bottom Line is ......No one cares.

BitTorrent clients use the Application Layer.
Applications don't get a choice to ignore RSTs, all they get is a socket that closes and a code that roughly explains why.

Why would anyone waste time talking about stuff no one cares about?
Not a secret....just pointless.
Maybe you could start a "march for Packets" doubt anyone would turn up.
