Re: who cares....
Yeah - UDP data stream is not the same as TCP connections, however, I do think that Skype does TCP connections as well, but its tough to filter/block.

said by en102  :(who's to say Sandvine won't interfere with Vonage / Skype ?) Sandvine is going to have a pretty tough time injecting a TCP reset into a stateless stream of UDP-based RTP packets. |

Don't forget the invisible cap.

I agree in general, however, I think Comcast is using packet shaping vs. caps.
Either way, if I can run what I want (who's to say Sandvine won't interfere with Vonage / Skype ?) why would I want it.
Also, expect a price increase.
Good
1. Increase in data rates
2. More capacity for cable co.
Bad:
1. Sandvine
2. Most likely price increase
I'll keep my $25/month unfiltered/uncapped/unrestricted 3Mbps/512kbps, thanks
