Re: who cares....

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

Don't forget the invisible cap.
- Consume too much bandwidth and Comcast terminates you.

Sandvine is going to have a pretty tough time injecting a TCP reset into a stateless stream of UDP-based RTP packets.

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.
