Re: Preserve the integrity of their network??? And why wouldn't they protect their business plan? They are a FOR PROFIT business and they do kind of have a right to make a profit do they not?
This is from the Insight TOS though I am POSITIVE that Comcast has something very similar:
i. undertake or accomplish any unlawful purpose; this includes, but is not limited to, posting, storing, transmitting or disseminating information, data or material which is libelous, obscene, unlawful, threatening, defamatory, or which infringes the intellectual property rights of any person or entity,
Now why on earth would Comcast not take steps to protect their bottom line when a SIGNIFICANT chunk of their bandwidth is in direct violation of TOS?
Piss and moan about legal uses all you want, nearly all of this traffic is illegal and if it makes my legal use of the Internet faster then I am all for it. | | |

| Why they wouldn't:
Filtering based on use is an invasion of privacy.
They advertised a upload and download rate. If they can't sustain this, they don't have a right to pick and choose who to deny it to. They don't get to throttle to prevent the service you paid for which was not just what YOU want to use it for.
You write about your use being faster, guess what? That's a naive view, ALL the users are supposed to have the full bandwidth they paid for, and if you don't yet, you have the same complaint but you're being selfish about trying to take from other to get what you shouldn't have been denied in the first place. Stop trying to cheat others and then you will be on a unified front to look at the real problem. | |
