Ha, throttled back to nearly the highest speed Comcast provides in the 4th largest city in the USA.
Yeah, they get throttle back for a total of 7 hours a day to over twice the maximum speed I can get here in the USofA.

It is good they upfront talk about it and that period is the highest use. Throttling only then makes sense.

But how long is one throttled? Just till 9pm the same night would be fair.

That throttling sounds like a good compromise, hint hint hint, American ISP's!
A good compromise only if this is not used to undermine infrastructure updates. If throttling is necessary, than something needs to be done to relieve the congestion besides reducing usability. This should be a temporary fix when things get crazy, but I don't think it should be a long-term solution to congested networks. I hope my FiOS connection is never throttled outside of standard networking protocols.

BUT, where is the money in this? None for ISPs. Can't make a profit unless someone goes over some specified limit and pays overage charges.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Throttled-back-to-Comcast-speed-21584742 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 13:04:06 EDT Re: Throttled back to Comcast speed http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Throttled-back-to-Comcast-speed-21584601 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Throttled-back-to-Comcast-speed-21584601 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 12:39:24 EDT Throttled back to Comcast speed http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Throttled-back-to-Comcast-speed-21584555 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Throttled-back-to-Comcast-speed-21584555 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 12:29:19 EDT
