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.
They're not the Internet police or the government. And what people use on their connection is none of their business. Bittorrent is not an illegal piece of software to use.

Re: Comcast responds

While I agree with you that its not an illegal piece of software, your statement of "what people use on their connection is none of their busines" Please remember YOU do not own your connection. It is not "yours". You essentially are leasing the connection so what you do on it most definitely is their business to an extent and if you choose to find a ISP that agrees with your way of thinking...good luck. Because I promise you even if the ISP isn't openly blocking anything they are still paying close attention to the traffic their customers are sending and receiving.

Don't get me wrong I disagree with them doing this, and orignally their sandvine implementation was not used for this and was actually used to help customers maintain speeds, prioritize certain traffic such as XBL, VOIP, etc.
