I've been outspoken here at DSLR for a long time about why I agree with traffic shaping, and I fully back Comcast's right to do so on their network. Where I begin to disagree is when they start forging packets in order to perpetrate a man-in-the-middle attack against their own customers. Throttling torrents is one thing, completely breaking them is another.
I really wish ISP's would just come clean about throttling; anyone who is capable of looking at the situation rationally would agree that it's not feasible to have small groups of customers maxing out their entire node's resources 24/7. All this back alley, hush-hush crap is generating negative public opinion that for the most part is not deserved. I feel that all it would take to make things right is to clearly post the parameters of what is blocked and what is slowed down in the ISP's FAQ area on its website. Informed customers = happy customers.
Stop sneaking around, and for the love of God, stop forging packets!
