Anonymister @verizon.net from: rit56 thumbs down from: TKJunkMail Cabal	Just goes to prove.. This just goes to prove that their network is over-sold and over-burdened. With record profits you would think that COMCAST are working very hard to upgrade it. Nothing but greed and a short-sighted attitude to kill off certain applications that they don't like, throwing off subscribers that use the connection to its full capacity, and having a monopoly in many areas of the country to keep other BETTER choices out. But they're screwing up. Only a matter of time before they are sued and pave the way for cable companies to become regulated the bells. About time too.

RadioDoc 58ef2c0 Premium,ExMod 2000-03 join:2000-05-11 ·AT&T Midwest	Funny thing is that Comcast is starting to use the same ham-fisted, self-serving excuses for "network protection" that AT&T used back in the 70's in an attempt to prevent customers from using customer-owned equipment on "their" lines in competition with that leased by the phone company. Except this time the equipment is network traffic which competes with Comcast's lucrative add-on program services like video on demand. It is only a matter of time before "reasonable network management" includes throttling outside video streaming to some absurdly low bitrate. BitTorrent is today's sparkly thing they're using to distract from where the real discussion should be occurring. -- Toolmaster of La Grange.

So me an residental ISP who's network isn't over-sold and I'll show you an ISP that will soon be going out of business. All ISPs over-sell their network. It's when they don't manage the over-selling and it becomes too over-sold that it becomes a problem.
