Re: Comcast responds
said by JasonD :said by TK Junk Mail  :And Comcast walks right thru the FCC loophole. Nothing will change. Nor should it. They (ISP's) aren't in business to provide some sort of perceived 'God given right' to full on 24/7 internet access. Especially to something as downright egregious as bittorrent. If I am paying for the connection, and choose to use it to download perfectly legal content via bit torrent, where exactly is Comcast's right to block that option? And I say block, because thats exactly what their "delay" does.
Keep in mind, this is all just an outsider's opinion. I would never use Comcrap, even if dial up was the only alternative. Anyone who hates their customers as much as they do has no place in my home.

They limit the number of upload connections their users able to establish to minimize upstream channel congestion. |

Yes unfortunately it is A-OK for a few users that use Bittorent legally to be blocked. Just like it's OK to Search every person at the airport to stop the few from ruining the trip for others. |

| It would be interesting to see bittorrent modify their application so that the packets appear to be VoIP, using the same UDP ports as RTP with the DiffSrvices field set to express forwarding. |
