| just give me the pipe without interfering with it! I'm against any network provider who would in any way tamper with my use of the internet. If I choose to use bit torrent to download something, who cares what it may be, then allow me to do so.
If I understand what Comcast is doing, a torrent is unable to be seeded once complete. Well gee the upload is always going to be lower than the download by several times, so what's the big deal here? a few users uploading at 384kbps or 768kbps I highly doubt will kill comcasts backbone. After all aren't they connected to their upstream providers at 1 gigabit a second symmetrical? I have a friend who backs up large files of 600MB or more to an online backup storage location. He'll often use his 384kbps upload speed for 1 day or two straight uploading these files. Now just how exactly is that different than using bit torrent? You're still using bandwidth, which you pay for, and if Comcast doesn't want you using bandwidth, why set speed caps on our modems at all then? Just open the pipe and cap users whenever they feel like it! This is the wrong way to do things IMHO. |
