Comcast Blocks Web Browsing
An anonymous reader writes "A team of researchers have found that Comcast has quietly rolled out a new traffic-shaping method, which is interfering with web browsers in addition to p2p traffic. The smoking gun that documents this behavior are network traces collected from Comcast subscribers Internet connections. This evidence shows Comcast is forging packets and blocking connection attempts from web browsers. One has to hope this isn't the congestion management system they are touting as no longer targeting BitTorrent, which they are deploying in reaction to the recent FCC investigations."
The US has totally become Soviet Russia but in modern times, and honestly, that scares the fuck out of me, and how easily people are giving up their rights to privacy, or /not/ reacting when the government is invading basic human rights.
Maybe soon they'll flock to Canada, where you can drive from state to state without papers... and take two wives... (at least)
sometimes when I'm browsing the web, I like to throttle my penis.
