agreed, if you don't like comcasts practices, go to another provider, there are plenty of providers out there that DONT block traffic, or that are honest. Vote with your dollars, thats how capitalism is supposed to work, not with constant government intervention. |

Franklin, TN | especially when comcast is one of your TWO choices for internet providers, with the other being AT&T. Yep capitalism at it's finest right here... |
|
| I nearly guarantee that there are other smaller providers in your area, you just need to look. And on the very off chance that there isn't, if you care enough and there is a market for it, start your own ISP. Simple, capitalism is a self-regulating system; a Ron Paul voter should know that  |

While you're right that nothing prevents new companies from joining the fray, any new carrier has to lay its own redundant infrastructure, tearing up the rights-of-ways just to place their fiber on top of Verizon's fiber, or their copper along side of AT&T's copper, or their coaxial cable atop Comcast's.
And after they're done tearing up the town, let's watch the companies fight it out as they blame each other for cutting wires or interfering with signals on wet crossed lines.
Dumb way to go -- there are plenty of rich people who could be investors, but there's not a lot of dumb rich people who would invest in such a perilous venture.
