Re: What???

C'mon...think!
The Comcast network is optimized for VOIP and voice packets. With today's standards-based implementations there is no way that any provider is going to alter VOIP QoS or traffic based on BRAND.
Most likely, the latency is originating in the best-effort world of the Internet cloud - not the bandwidth-managed private networks that Comcast owns.

Re: What???

Reminds me of a nice little anecdote.

Just for the hell of it, I decided to use a dremel to take off all the letters on my keyboard. Well, inevitably my Comcast internet was having issues, and a technician had to be sent out. When he arrived, he had to use my computer, and had the worst time trying to figure out where the keys were. I eventually had to swap keyboards so that he could do his work, to which he said "Thank God, you were killing me there."

I don't think think you need quotes around "any", they are looking for every key on the keyboard.

I don't think they have the competence to do that kind of thing. Most of the Comcast people I've dealt with are still looking for "any" key on their keyboards.

Comcast using unfair tactics? You don't say.

I wouldn't put it past them but I think they could just be getting Comcrap's crappy service in them parts.
