Re: Some Throttling of my own

I did some throttling of my own. I throttled the amount of money I pay Comcast down to zero by switching to FIOS. FIOS isn't really better than Comcast of course, that's just a talking point.
I think most of us would do the exact same, if FIOS was in our area.

I'm glad you have alternative choices to Comcast, but for the rest of us, we're pretty much left with only two ISP options (three in some areas). And around here, Comcast is the only one offering service that 1) are above 6mbit in speed, 2) are wired (wireless is too unreliable/flippant with latency), and 3) aren't limited by CO distance.
