AMD fights just as dirty. They modified the DLL in 3DMark so that it would produce higher benchmarks on an Athlon system, and then compared those benchmarks to the normal 3DMark on Intel based systems. It goes both ways.
If they do do this, they will have to come up with a better reason than cox's reason, because they don't have static ip's. This means that people can't feasibly run servers, so they'll need some better idea.
If you're having problems with your cable service, check out www.cabletraffic.com.. they offer a proram that logs all cable traffic and tests speeds. This way you have to something to use when you need to complain to your isp about the service.
Roadrunner won't be able to use the excuse that @home uses if they try to do this due to the fact that they don't have static ips. If you're IP address is constantly changing, it makes it fairly difficult to keep any type of web server up and running.

This is true, but he was talking about download speeds, not network speeds. Download speeds are most definately not rated in kilobits per second.
