When you throttle bandwidth and spoof RST packets to cherry pick traffic to "manage" your network, all the while charging customers jacked up rates for "unlimited" Internet access, which is really very limited, of course you're going to turn a tidy profit. You never have to upgrade your infrastructure - Just keep adding customers, taking their money and cherry picking traffic. |

| Comcast doesn't advertise their connection as unlimited so your point is moot. Many people feel they have a good deal with Comcast, as do I. I get much more from my Comcast connection then I could get from the other two providers in my area. For the entertainment I get for my $122.50/month, I think it is a great deal. That price includes an HD DVR, phone and internet. I hope they keep providing the good service they have been to my area. |

They will loose customers by shaping or they will gain more customers by shaping?
You cant have it both ways.
People bitch and bitch that Comcast will go under because of their network management, then when they turn a profit, its BECAUSE of network management.
Awesome world you live in. I think I married someone just like you...

That was a very lame and poorly thought out troll.
If I was married to someone like you I would have married an A-Hole.
Maybe Im queer as a $3.00 bill. I still dont see what your point is.

I was objecting to the fact that you had to go that route. Not necessary here.
