Comcast Appeals FCC's Net Neutrality Ruling

Posted by timothy on from the makes-one-long-for-tin-cans-and-string dept.

Ian Lamont writes "Comcast has filed a court appeal of an FCC ruling that says the company can't delay peer-to-peer traffic on its network because it violates FCC net neutrality principles. A Comcast VP said the FCC ruling is 'legally inappropriate,' but said it will abide by the order during the appeal while moving forward with its plan to cap data transfers at 250 GB per month."

    I live in Australia, and I'd kill for a 250Gb plan that doesn't cost half of the average weekly wage.

    You should note also, that those plans are for 50gb to about 100gb. We don't have 250gb caps here...

    Have you looked into cyberonic (www.cyberonic.com)? I use them in San Francisco and my brother uses them in Upstate NY. Dryline adsl, 1 static ip + 5 more for an extra $15, no port blocking, great customer support. The few times I've called them (over 5 years of service), I've never been on hold for more than a few minutes and once, when they couldn't fix the problem immeadiatly they called me back when the tech who could help me got back from lunch.
