Re: Be carefull what you wish for

- So comcast stops throttling BT.
- BT usage starts to clog up the upload link on comcasts network.
- Users complain that the entire comcast network is too slow and demand that they "fix" it.
- Comcast increases the bandwidth of the network so BT and all the applications that BT was slowing down will work and passes along the $10 per month upgrade to us.
- Users complain about the price increase because it is supporting a small number of users and the "I don't use BT so I shouldn't have to pay for it" crowd demands that comcast enforce the TOS and stop all BT so the price can go back down.
....
Then they should deal with the bandwidth hogs directly. I use less than 25g a month. I would consider myself a light user; so why should my usage of bit torrent be limited? The problem is Comcast is throwing out the baby with the bath water. What will they do tomorrow when they decide Yotube or some other application is responsible for a sizable portion of their bandwidth usage. Are they going to interfere with those applications too. Comcast customers are finding new ways to use their bandwidth, but Comcast is not growing with the growing needs of their customers.
