My take is Comacast is doing this bit torrent blocking in fits and spurts in various markets. It’s a trial balloon to see how much they can get away with. How loud the sheeple will bleat in protest
A few folks have been “bit hard in court” on the “peer-to-peer” file-sharing programs. I wonder if the telecoms feel a little exposed? Our legal system has already tried gun manufacturers, etc for their products used in illegal activity.
Some of the emails from my friends using Comcast are terribly delayed by hours. I wasn’t sure if it was my service or theirs. This tells me it’s theirs.
I dumped Comcrap cable internet service and got Verizon FIOS. Happy ever since.
They need to leave bittorrent alone.
Funny, when I was visiting friends of mine in Carmel, Ca., they had Comcast and it was the fastest internet connection I’ve ever used.
I run speed tests all the time when I’m on line and they were getting 20,000 to 28,29,000kbps downstream and 1300 to 1500kbps upstream.
I’m paying Chartert extra in Texas to get 5,000 kbps down and usually get around 47-4800+ kbps down and 400+ upload.
Charter is pretty flaky and not all that reliable sometimes with lots of slowdowns or disconnections right in the middle of a trade.
Do not get me started about Charter.
