Re: Sorry but..
The question is..
What if you are NOT a bandwidth hog and 24x7 user, yet still hit these filters ?
Eg. A little email, a little web browsing, then go to a site to download a Fedora Core update over bittorrent, and have the +10Mbps line running worse than a 56kbps modem.
I'll gladly keep my DSL-Extreme 3Mbps/512kbps line... its cheaper and appears to have better throughput than Comcast's traffic shaped line.

| This is such bs - just like they say they have the most HD content - they can only say this because of their on demand. Some of it really isn't tru hd too! Don't want to stray from the topic but this really urks me man!!!!
Does FIOS employ these type of practices?

Nothing you described in your analogy would be subject to throttling -- remember we're talking about uploads, right?  |

| Are all of Comcasts traffic shaping/throttling on upload only ?
Either way... I'll take my relatively unfiltered line over something that's having a flavor of the month filter added, with management not being very up front about it.
Since Comcast left here (they were overpriced at the time anyways), its Time Warner in my area, which may end up adding caps, as they have been testing it in Texas markets.
