Re: Isn't this going to be fairly easy to circumvent?
You bring up a point with the competition. 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.
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 think you should buy some "carpenter" jeans, and have a hammer hanging on the side loop when you take your equipment back.
