DSL isn't always that bad a choice. I'm getting 7Mb Down / 512 Kb up for cheap cheap thru my local phone company. Not too bad considering I live 50 miles away from the nearest large town.
Weren't most of the people in Gitmo shooting at our troops (which admittedly shouldn't be there to start with) at one point in time? Also, I know for a fact that they have lawyers.
You're a fucking moron, AC. Ours may be based on yours but we seem to be doing a slightly better job keeping up with the times. Plus we have this little thing called "Innocent until proven guilty" which apparently you don't. That by itself makes all the fucking difference in the world.
Not hardly. Comcast is facing a huge class action lawsuit for basically the same thing. Our politicos are starting to realize while Hollywood & the RIAA can give them money, they can't get them re-elected if no one will vote for them.
I' just got rid of Comcast internet for ADSL thru my local phone company. The price is lower, the service is great, the speed is great (albiet a tad bit slower than Comcast when it was running right), the latency is low & I don't have to deal with the leeches on my cable node anymore.

I can't wait till one political party starts using this stuff on the other political party. Think of all the "candid" shots we'll be getting!
Sure

Please don't be obtuse. They are sending *RESET* packets. Sending a RST is *not* the same as bandwidth shaping.

Hey, thanks for not being a prick like Atzanteol.
This little game called "The SIMS"? Maybe you've heard of it? Best selling PC game / series of all time?
The WIImote has a higher bandwidth than a Razer mouse? Is she sure about that? How the hell does that make for a better game anyhow?
Doh, yeah, I read it wrong, alright. Go Obama.
Scratch that last comment. Go Obama.
Hey, thanks for correcting me without being a dick!
I'm absolutely shocked that both of my Reps voted nay on this.
I'm going to have to send them some kudos.

So let me get this straight, you think warrantless wiretapping is a good thing?

I'm not up on British law, but don't you guys have a way to get rid of of bad lawmakers? You do have elections right?
Yeah, yeah I know, George Bush. But this shit would never fly over here. Surely you've heard about the hot water Comcast is in over here?
Waterboarding has been around since medieval times.
Israel?
Jeezus Keyrist.
Pot, why don't you come meet my good friend Kettle over here.

Fuck Comcast & Time-Warner.
And the FCC for letting it come to this.
... it rains pitchforks & sino-girl babies on those bastards.
Can you name one that has been eliminated in the past 25 years though?
They grow up to be taxpayers.

You are so full of shit that I don't even know where to start.
Probably just UD.
Aussies talk pretty funny. I'm sure they'd find my southern accent hilarious as well.
