Yes, and Comcast is paying lip service to "playing nice" because they don't want neutrality laws. As long as net neutrality isn't law, they can continue to mildly degrade competing VoIP over their network, just enough to make it annoying, and make deals with VoIP companies to reduce the degradation.

| I'd have to agree. This is PR, they made some deal with Vonage for the publicity and to get mileage out of it on the lobbying agenda.
So they put Vonage up on a pedestal as an example of their "new" policies.
Course, should they actually win the long term battle (and achieve their agenda- banning net neutrality type regulations) they'll be able to kick that pedestal out from under Vonage (and other Net competitors) at the snap of their fingers.

I wouldn't call it pulling out the pedestal, more like slashing their throats. |

I was one of the many who took the triple play deal.. Time Warner RR Exstreme (10,000/1000) trashed my Vonage connection-at times it became unusable. I finally moved all my VOIP to my DSL Extreme 3000/512 DSL connection and all the problems just went away. |

This simply states they never will in the future eiher.
