Re: Another nice move by Comcast

Not an ISP.

Most companies prohibit the use of P2P period. Stanford's network is nothing more than a huge private network. Now I wonder what Stanford's view would be if their ISP just decided to thottle P2P traffic for them without an option.

They buy capacity from carriers who have completely different (ie, realistic) bandwidth pricing structures.

Similarly when you sign up for Comcast you are buying attachment to their private network that has upstream connections to carriers.
