seem reasonable but...

the question still remains if essentially forging/altering packets is reasonable and should be allowed. in my opinion altering how someone experiences the internet should not be done (messing with packets, dns redirection, and similar, but not bandwidth allocation). i think they should just decrease bandwidth allocated to a user as the network load increases, starting with those that use the most.

i'd be curious to see how much bittorrent traffic actually effects comcast's network. does it really slow down sections of thier network? which could be solved by upgrading maybe? since comcast is not a tier 1 ISP, is the bandwidth caused by bittorrent costing them a lot of money?
