COMCAST - Flitering/Rejecting your downloads
Thats right i've learned that comcast is now starting to filter OUR DOWNLOADS, I've started wondering why if i'm downloading a large file (COD and Crysis) demos and LEGAL copies of programs from my school why my download rate either drops to nothing or goes to 5Kbps, because comcast is trying to battle internet pirating of movies, mp3's and programs.
Right now as far as i know this has been taken to the supreme court. Because it's been focused on BitTorrent, however it effects all large downloads. THIS IS THE MAIN REASON WHY i have high speed internet, if comcast is going to do this i'll go with DSL or back to dial up.

It would actually be kinda cool if they did and everyone dropped high speed and went back to dial up and the high speed companies fell on their ass. Might teach them to leave politics and crime to the politicians and courts. I have cable and would definitely miss it. Not sure if I could ever do the dial up thing again but I'm pretty stubborn. If they done that to me I'd probably be hearing modem sounds again. High speed people pay a premium for a reason, limiting download speed takes away from that reason.

Hell...my problem with Comcast right now is the fact that ANYTHING I have uploaded on my webspace isn't working.

yeah, it's just one big ball of bullshit. Just like insurance companies. Liars and thieves.
