Comcast Migrating Customers To DNSSEC Resolvers

Posted by Soulskill on from the must-be-easier-to-throttle dept.

ctg1701 passes along this quote from a Comcast announcement: "Starting today we will begin migrating customers who have opted out of our Domain Helper service over to our production DNSSEC-validating servers. This will happen first in a selected part of our Virginia network, and will later expand to all markets in the following sixty days, at which point all of our customers who have opted out of Domain Helper will be migrated. After this has been completed, we will migrate the rest of our customers, which we anticipate will stretch into the early part of 2011."

    Great.

    Like I don't pay far, far, FAR above market for what I get from Comcast already (lack of other options...)

    Chris what is your non-biased take on Comcast forging TCP reset packets and terrible quality HD?

    >>>terrible quality HD?

    And also feeding SD channels (like MTV) with the top/bottom chopped off to try and trick customers to think it is widescreen! Bastards. I get my HD programming off the antenna, which is typically 15 Mbit/s rather than Comcast's squeezed 7 Mbit/s HD.
