Someone call the FCC

Comcast got bitch slapped with a nice fine for this. Maybe TW will get the same.

I believe it was me to got them to stop interfering with internet user like traffic shaping software
It was pretty obvious that the TCP was injected everytime you try to use p2p like torrent and cause you to lose connection to all user.
The interference is at a minimum when you are downloading but when you are seeding, they hit you with hundreds of forged TCP cause you to not be able to connect to any user
called sandvine which of course will throttle all torrent activity
»torrentfreak.com/comcast-throttl···ossible/
as you know they could have taken a step further and limit all traffic which is what they do now so you will not always get the fastest speed depending on the hour of the day called traffic management
now it will slow you down or cut you off if you consume more bandwidth then other user
prioritizing method

I'm pretty sure it was Robb who first discovered it.

Re: Someone call the FCC

Comcast settled with the Florida Attorney General and paid $150K in the settlement. Basically, this paid for the cost of the investigation. This was the same action that brought along the designation of 250 GB as "excessive use."

That is how it starts. It is good that the CC supporters find it funny, so probably would they consider Gandhi's words.

It's funny because it's a joke. Companies in the U.S. rather break the laws, and pay stupid fines, than follow the laws, and lose 5-10x as much as the fine would have been.

I can only welcome TW deploying what I believe to be the same class abusive techniques. As soon as the other monopolies would implement the same customer unfriendly deceptive strategies, would be a good time for the government to start an investigation regarding collusion and monopolistic practices that hopefully would have these giants broken into smaller, competitive pieces, the way it should be.
