It would be one thing if the reporters were making up the news, it is another if it is ACTUALLY happening, as such the reporters are reporting it due to the fact that it is Broadband related...

| Re: linch mob reporters? When a company engages in questionable business practices that may or may not be legal, and definitely when they lie about it ,cover it up, and deny it to the public and their customers, which may technically be legal, but is certainly is unethical and misleading, well, you should expect them to get roasted.... After all they are putting themselves up on the firing line.
All Comcast has to do to stop it is 1) Quit doing it, or 2) Admit they do it, which while they would still get slammed for it, it would certainly die down a lot quicker.

| | What you call "Comcast Bashing" is, in fact, a quaint old thing once called "The News". The evidence is strong that Comcast, without a policy in place that specifically states, to customers, that Bittorrent traffic is not allowed on their network, seems to be degrading services arbitrarily.
Now, what are they going to say they are doing? "Defending their network". If they are, in fact, degrading Bittorrent traffic in truth, then why? Overselling and a lack of interest in capital improvement in network capacity, from the nodes on up.
So, it's not a "linch" mob. It's legitimate news. I know that if my provider might be playing with QoS and deep packet inspection, I would want to know that, because I am paying for this service and I would want to know what my dollars, hard-earned as they are, are buying me.
You might want to consider such an attitude yourself. No business is your friend. All the relationship consists of is taking your money and giving you a product or service. Anything else is wishful thinking and credulousness, because any business will toss you over the side in a New York Second, if it benefits them. | |

Example, they don't for example, ban you for making such a statement.  And I've knocked Comcast and I am still their customer.

| | | | | No, they won't ban you but they will delete your post. Censorship! (I wonder if this will get deleted also...)
Now... regardless of the number of "high powered lawyers" anyone has, if its a clear cut case of the law being broken then no team of lawyers will get you anywhere, expect maybe a killer plea bargain. (do not see: OJ Simpson Trial) | |

1 edit | Re: linch mob reporters? How can you see something that has already been deleted? :sarc: I have posted a few times where I took a stance that differed from most, it was not vulgar at all, it did not flame or troll, it just pointed out some facts that others didnt agree with and it was gone. I tried repost and it was deleted multiple times... personal experience. | |

Hmmm. Really. I've been in some heated arguments here, often bordering on flame wars, and never had this problem. I've seen some obvious flames and personal attacks disappear after mods review them. You *positive* your posts were not flaming or attacking people personally?
Perhaps you should contact the site mods when this happens to you and see what the problem is. Grain of salt, and all.

Because Comcast is soooo damn sneaky?
Years ago when they got caught running transparent proxies they denied it . . . now they get caught forging TCP packets to limit (possibly legitimate) BitTorrent traffic, they once again deny it. These "knee-jerk" deny-it / lie-about-it Comcast reactions to provable allegations are EXACTLY what causes many subscribers to doubt ANYTHING Comcast says.
