Not really. Competition can keep companies from getting away with this too much. ....
what competition? I got comcast or dialup with nothing else on the near horizon.

Same here. There is no FIOS. There is no DSL (too far from CO, it's been the same problem for eight years now). Satellite is essentially useless for my needs, with the latency and the ludicrous throttling. How many others are in the same predicament?

Comcast doesn't appear to be interfering with torrents in this area yet, but if they start, what am I supposed to do -- pull my USR Courier 33.6 out of the closet and say "Screw you, Comcast" as I sign up for AOL dialup? I'm an IT contractor and I use my Internet connection daily for work. If it comes to it, I'll have to let torrents go rather than throw the baby out with the bathwater. Competition my ass.
