Old news, plus what was the outcome of all that Sandvine crap?

You of all people should know it was erradicated because *SOMEONE* threw a wrench in their machine.

Here we are today and thanks to that great guy(*wink*), connections are peachy again.

This is a whole new level of bad. One I doubt they want to be a part of.
i thought it was a hammer at a local office? =)

After a few of these mistakes, if this ever happens, the PR nightmare will certainly change the ISP's position of being a the hitman.

Escalation within Comcast's support system is abysmal. While mistakes would likely be few, IF a mistake was made, correcting it would be a massive chore for the end user.

can track P2P pirates
YES

manage the notification process for repeat offenders
YES

and handle the grievance process should users find their connections incorrectly terminated
NO. This is where they would fall down. Escalation within Comcast's support system is abysmal. While mistakes would likely be few, IF a mistake was made, correcting it would be a massive chore for the end user.
