Re: Comcast announces new bandwidth throttling scheme

The difference is speed vs latency. If you are so bothered by the way you are being treated then you can always change providers. Here, I will even give you a list of providers that are OBVIOUSLY better then Comcast.

Hughesnet
Qwest -- it is fiber after all :/
Verizon Wireless -- MOBILE!
Sprint --- Check out the bandwidth allowance!
and my personal favorite... Netzero

I know you won't have trouble switching. Last time I checked Comcast didn't require you to sign a service contract.

Re: Comcast announces new bandwidth throttling scheme

I have had Comcast for over 7 years (since they were first available). I am not about to run. I am sitting with open arms enjoying the speed increases.

I agree that they shouldn't try to do more then they are capable of, but thats business.

Know any good realtors that could get me a room @ a data center? I would really enjoy a 99.99% uptime Gbit connection.
