Following the requirements of a recent FCC order, Comcast met their deadline to document all of the company’s throttling practices. There were few surprises in the filing; Comcast plans to continue slowing down Internet speeds for its heaviest users by splitting traffic into two streams and giving the "heavy users" a lower priority than other customers during peak times.

Apparently Comcast believes that this is a great way to move forward based on “testing” this system for three months in five different cities. The company says that less than one percent of users were affected during the testing and that no customer complaints were made about the issue. That’s an interesting claim considering that complaints about the problem were precisely what led to an investigation by the FCC and that the FCC hasn’t demanded that Comcast do anything differently from what it has already been doing.

Comcast says that the company plans to implement this not-so-new system across their entire network before the end of the year. They claim that there will be no specific targeting of p2p filesharing as part of this plan. The company’s impending 250 GB usage cap will also still be in place.
