1MB = 1 Megabyte = 8 Megabits

You're only paying for _1_ megabit. Not 8. Get your own facts right.

Secondly, if every customer used their entire 1 megabit all the time, everyone's upload would feel like a 56k modem. They throttle the p2p services for a reason - to keep speeds consistent for all cusomers. Welcome to the world of residential Internet Service Providers. If you want a full megabit 24/7/365, I suggest you pay $300-400/month for a partial T1.

Thirdly, net neutrality has absolutely nothing to do with this issue. This is RCN's network. "Net neutrality" as discussed recently by SBC is about traffic between major providers.

You're a dumbass.

That was a well thought out, very concise, and accurate point, Sherman.

Sadly, don't expect it to be understood by many folks here...
