The traffic shaping has nothing to do with torrents or piracy.

It's about normalizing traffic shaping. The bigger picture is ISPs double dipping, charging for access to subscribers, enforced by traffic shaping content providers (particularly VOD competitors like iTunes rentals, Amazon unbox, Netflix VOD etc) into the ground who don't pay the bounty.

It's just easy for Comcast to start normalizing traffic shaping by crying piracy and upstream saturation. If they were actually interested in controlling bit torrent traffic, they could easily do that by enforcing "reasonable" upload caps. The upload caps would stop the 24/7 seeding that is saturating the upstream channels.

The next step for Comcast is to traffic shape streaming video, VOIP and other content competitors.

Re: Excellent

I have Comcast's Blast service.

That's 16mbps/2mbps.
2mbps Upload(2.2mbps actual)
So, if I use VUZE to download MariposaHD(LEGAL), there is no way I can *give back* at least 1:1 because of the "traffic shaping" to save Comcast's poor network?

Uhm... what exactly is it that I am paying for again?

Ya know, I can blast away all day and night slamming DVDs and even Blu-ray Discs to a friend or friends and that is going across the same freakin connection(@ 2.2mbps)... but no shaping!

This is horseshit. No other way to classify it - straight horseshit!

:

And your point is?

Downloading/sharing/uploading LEGAL items via BT protocol are getting hosed because of a blanket "Network Management" claim, but that same network can/will/is getting saturated via other means and this is ok and gets a free pass.

Horseshit!

I could send you a 4-25-50GB file right this second and max the crap out of my upload - for a while.
No BS Sandvine would be involved - would it?
Screw protocol... same network, same max speed.
Does this make sense?
