Re: so two packets walk up to a club entrance.... said by inteller:both want to go through at the same time, but the packet wearing the Pirate Bay t-shirt isn't allowed in while the other packet is. that packet has just been blocked.
They don't look at which BT tracker the customer is using, only whether the packets are BT.
So it's more like, commuters are in line to get on the train, and Comcast is checking tickets at the gate, and they have an idea that people with brown skin ride the train too much, so they make them walk around the building a hundred times before they can get on, while the pale-skin commuters can go right through. |

| True, throwing around the race card is never a good thing, but it conveys the message correctly. The comcast slowdown is being targed not because of the content, but by the nature of the packet. They don't differentiate between a bootleg copy of Tranformers and a WoW customer downloading the latest game patch. |

| Why does Comcast continually drag it's name through the mud? It started with them sending letters that say you are using too much bandwidth and then refusing to tell you how much is too much. Then they deny doing what the whole world already knows they're doing. Now they further insult your intelligence by playing semantics (it's not blocking, it's delaying!). And you wonder why grandma is going medieval at the local Comcast office or why their customer service is so horrible. This company is clueless. |
