change their policy?

AHAHAHHAHAH That's a classic PR BS LIE.

Heh, they've been using this technique for MONTHS before the press finally became aware of it. And all that time they were denying EVERYTHING.

It's nice that you know how to research the Penal Code and all, but Comcrap's practice of throttling/spoofing is still occurring in the Golden State, virtually with impunity, nonetheless. Additionally, take notice in the Hart v. Comcast complaint, your Penal Code citation is not a cause of action. Guess you better notify Hart's legal counsel -the Lexington Law Group- that you found the magic law that will prohibit Comcast's practices.

My point was that Comcast throttling/spoofing is occurring in California with impunity, and, despite your assertion to the contrary of, as well as a lawsuit brought by another individual, the Penal Code section you cited does not appear in Hart's complaint.

#4 It is their network, so they give themselves permission. And further more you gave them permission when you agreed to the TOS & AUP.
#5 Ditto
#8 Rest packets are not a contaminant. You all yell about defining "reasonable", so define contaminant.

TOS, AUPs, and EULAs are not above state and federal laws, so your argument is moot.

I didn't realize that the cabling from their cable modem connection to another person's computer was their network. However I DO believe that the forged packet has to travel over said cabling.
