Hollywood, FL | Name that tune... In one packet...unless Comcast changes it.
Look the thing is they should just man up and be honest about what they're doing. Honestly I am kinda shocked they haven't just said they're doing it to help thwart piracy, just to shift the focus off of them.
I don't have a problem with shaping per se, and folks use things like Packteer to do that inside their own networks all day. The issue is lying about it, and doing their usual of treating customers like crap in the process.
The fact is they're creating a problem here, and it happens on both business and residential connections (so none of that "get a business class los" rhetoric).
If they're going to implement this stuff then they have an obligation to their customers to do it properly, and that means when they're called out on the collateral damage it causes, Comcast should take some action to review and fix it.
I know some folks within IBM are taking them to task on the Notes issue, and I hear it has been resolved in some areas, but that's spotty at best.

| I would think if they didnt want you to send something over a line just block all together instead of picking through the TCP packets, something seems not legal about that |

It should be noted that I use Notes all the time from home and haven't had any problems whatsoever. |
