Wow, 70 bucks a month to be called an idiot by some idiot working for Comcast. No thanks. I'll stick with NAT.

"Research into "seeing past" NAT devices may someday make paying for such services less optional, as ISP's begin peeking into home networks and charging accordingly."
I'd like to see them try to peek past my hardware firewall.

I'd agree if thats all it was but here is the part that was left out:
said by Comcast:
Home Networking customers will have a maximum download speed of 2.5 megabits per second, compared with 1.5 mbps for regular customers.
So it's not just a NAT for $20 extra. You also get your caps raised by 1Mbps.
Which at least makes it a viable option. |

Yeah now I have an eyebrow raised. Only if they offer back money for download speeds lost. We can all agree that at around 6 pm you will be going from 2.5 to 1.8-1.4-7--kbps download.

Well, until the Patriot Act, that would have violated your constitutional rights (invasion of privacy w/o a warrant), now it is just a matter of a few bills and then Comcast will be allow, nay.. required to snoop past your nat box and will see how many machines and what is on them. All this in the name of security, sheesshh what next a National ID card, and indefinite detentions (oh, wait that happens now!)

But then again the Patriot Act says that you are responsible for your connection. If someone launches an attack from your connection, then be prepared to get a visit from the FBI.

As well you they should be. Only the irresponsible retards that proclaim themselves "sysadmins" get visits from the feds.

Canceling continues to be an option.
If you were not ever getting 2.5, I'd imagine that you would not keep the service. True in some areas people are lucky if they hit 1Mbps... |

| That would be if I were thinking logically. Unfortunately there are many Comcast customers, that despite getting shitty service, continue to pay "because there's nothing else" and/or they're afraid to go back to dialup.
