Don't count on it madrhino See Profile. Upon turning in my equipment to Comcast when cancelling (at Comcast's Gude Drive office), all I was asked for was my name, customer number, and address.
The one on Largo Drive was rather unconcerned also.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19318875 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 18:42:56 EDT Re: Isn't this going to be fairly easy to circumvent? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19311923 Camelot One :

And I assume you are now a FIOS customer? :)
Yep.I haven't had the joy of returning the boxes to Comcast yet.I'm hoping the counter person asked why I canceled and writes it down.
I think you should buy some "carpenter" jeans, and have a hammer hanging on the side loop when you take your equipment back. :)

Get Verizon FIOS,The Anti-DIOS]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19311722 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 15:31:38 EDT Re: Delaying huh? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19311392 Jodokast96 : It won't matter as much now guys. Verizon officially rolled the 20/20 service so you can bet those heavy users that can get it, will.

"We don't impose caps upon our subscribers," insisted Susan Retta, Vice President of broadband solutions for Verizon. "We expect customers who order this 20/20 service will want to use it frequently, and we intend to give them the bandwidth that they ordered and they expect."
Verizon just stuck it to 'em hard (where available).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19311392 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 14:46:49 EDT Re: Delaying huh? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19310869 Morac : It is being delayed, delayed indefinitely. That's obviously not the same as blocking. :uhh:]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19310869 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 13:27:46 EDT Re: Delaying huh? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19310771 BarneyBadAss : and then they likely count the rejects as traffic load that you can't control.. so your counts go up and you don't get anything done.... luverly... simply loverly

Has anyone bothered to check to see if the lines Comcast isn't "delaying" packets happen to be in areas with multiple broadband options? Is this something they are trying out only on users who's only other choice is dial up?
I'm in a FIOS area and I was one of the first lucky ones to get Sandvine, although I didn't know WTF was going on for months.I went and bought a new #@$%!!#@@ modem because of this .

Every article I've read on this says it isn't being applied to ALL comcast connections, just some. The articles suggest that this may be due to the software/hardware still being rolled out.

Bittorrent is a legitimate protocol and people should be able to use it without interference.

The talk about bandwidth is an irrelevant pretext. An ISP can limit amount of traffic per user without discriminating against certain types of traffic.

If the only broadband option in an area is ISPs that systematically sabotage customers' connections, then we need laws to prohibit this abuse.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19309821 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 10:41:05 EDT Isn't this going to be fairly easy to circumvent? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19309573 nekote : Isn't this going to be fairly easy to circumvent?
