that was dumb

don't they know all they have to do is break the functionality of P2P applications to keep the bandwidth hogs at bay?

I'm sure there are also other applications they can prevent from working to keep bandwidth usage down - that's the way we do it here in the U.S.!

I don't know if your trying to sound like a smart ass with your comment, but all that traffic is NOT p2p.

There is a life outside of the RIAA and MPAA, if you realize this or not..

Just goes to show how far we are in the Good Ol' USA.

Im guessing from the responses above that you didn't remember the new sarcasm tags.

I gave ya a thumbs up not only for fooling the people posting above , but also for causing me to ruin my wireless keyboard when i dropped my coffee on it.

Good show sir ! Jolly good show !!

I thought about using the tags, but thought it would be obvious. I guess I was too subtle.

No, 90% of that traffic from Amsterdam is porn traffic. Most of the "reputable" porn sites operate on servers there.

"Gee, we have to upgrade our network because of porn?" said Comcast's CEO

"Yep!"

"We need to throttle, I mean 'traffic shape' all that smut."

"Yep!"

"I just love yes men."

"Yep!
