Re: Tell the TRUTH
If what you are saying is correct, then what's the issue?
So far, Comcast has only blocked UPLOADS on torrents, not downloads. If downloads are bing impaired, it's because another user's upload is being shaped.
Also, the moment someone has their traffic prioritized, you know darn well the net-watchers will cry foul and anti-competitive and all the rest. |

You will always have complainers, but they have little grounds moan if the QoS is done equally across the board and doesn't prioritize a competing service lower than the ISP's service (e.g. VoIP). |

I think you should look again at how BT works. Failure to upload (when you have needed pieces) or dropping uploading sessions will cause the peers at the other end to disconnect you or at least stop talking to you. Once a peer requests a piece from you, failure to supply it will cause the requesting peer to stop sending you pieces (ie: Choke you). This means that what Comcast is doing by blocking Uploads is ALSO blocking downloads since there will be no data to be downloaded (due to you being choked by the other peers). |

Then let those pushing out versions of bittorrent change that, so slow uploading peers aren't choked.
