Comcast Admits Delaying, Not Blocking, P2P Traffic

haibijon writes "The executive declined to talk in detail about the technology, citing spammers or other miscreants who might exploit that knowledge. But he insisted the company was not stopping file transfers from happening, only postponing them in certain cases. He compared it to making a phone call and getting a busy signal, then trying again and getting through."

    I don't know if that's true or not (I thought it was a felony to post-date cheques? Which is why my post was aiming for funny rather then informative ;)), but why the fuck are you modded a troll?

    I was always really, really happy with Speakeasy. They cover everything you're looking for, but are perhaps a little more expensive and a little slower than your large cable provider. Tech support that actually knows what they're doing, too.

    I think they were bought out recently, though. Not sure, since it would have happened after I left the area of coverage they had. No idea if they've changed or not.
