Damn them for keeping the stock holders from selling all their shares.
Damn them for providing a solid product for 99% of the customer base!!
Damn them for steadily increasing speeds over the years and investing billions in capacity upgrades
Damn them for introducing powerboost that increases speed for interactive apps.
Damn them for trying to understand how recent dramatic speed increases and unexpected heavy usage has ramifications to all users and costs associated to them.
If they could only spend all their profits and piss off the greedy stock holders to allow for unlimited bandwidth 7x24 so 1% of us could load DVDs on our multi-terabyte disk arrays.
Bastards!

Whoa! I don't believe I said anything even remotely in the same ball park as your response.
I simply said that they will surely find a way to screw up their traffic shaping attempt (kind of like the way they screwed up their implementation of Sandvine) thereby causing themselves and their customers all kinds of problems.
Believe it or not, I'm a triple play subscriber and I'm actually a pretty happy camper when it comes to Comcast.  |

first thing we get is a rate hike

Damn them for providing a solid product for 99% of the customer base!

Damn them for introducing powerboost that increases speed for interactive apps.
