| Truth is only a person's perception of reality In Comcast's mind, only their perception can be truth. Their perception of reality however varies from most of our perceptions and thus we are in disagreement.
Comcast's motto:
To begin with, our perception of the world is deformed, incomplete. Then our memory is selective. Finally, writing transforms. | |

| Re: Truth is only a person's perception of reality They must have one of Bush's people working there. Spin Doctors are what they are called. Do one thing, and flip it around. Sort of like the 99 reasons we invaded Iraq. Comcast's new slogan will be Stay the Course. Even though we're wrong, we'll try every way to pretend we weren't. Albeit, we try to sell our customers on how we're now consumer friendly, while still continuing to do said practice. WTG Comcast, does that jar of vasoline come with or without a contract? | |

| Re: Truth is only a person's perception of reality Well if you want to get down to the truth of it, some institutions actually use p2p like products to share data among their branches. If Comcast does this on more than a customer basis, then yes, people could be affected. As with packet sniffing / forged packets, you don't know what gets blocked. This software is less than perfect so legitimate traffic could be interfered with. I doubt it's claiming lives but it opens them up to a lot of legal problem as Comcast is realizing now. Not to mention, say a hospital or medical institution were to use such a system in order to share records privately. Would you want their packets forged and interrupted? | |

Comcast's motto:
"Our perception is one of complete truth. We understand everyone else's perceptions are deeply flawed, but we are absolute and resolute in our knowledge that we are right. They cannot help their false perceptions of us, it is their flawed nature; We will re-educate them, and bend them to our will, by all means necessary. The greater good of the Empire requires their realignment and unquestioning loyalty. They will comply, or be destroyed. We are the greater glory. We exist to better all mankind. Prepare to be assimilated."
 -- "Regulatory capitalism is when companies invest in lawyers, lobbyists, and politicians, instead of plant, people, and customer service." - former FCC Chairman William Kennard (A real FCC Chairman, unlike the current Corporate Spokesperson in the job!) | |

| Re: Too funny... Recapping...
They targeted BitTorrent, making their customer's experience using the connections they paid for to download all those movies and songs they say you can get more Comcastic! than usual.
Then they lied about forging RST packets, denying they were doing it.
Then they admitted they were forging RST packets.
Then they issued a press release saying they will stop targeting BitTorrent exclusively (aka, they will be "protocol agnostic")
Now they are denying they admitted the forgery, or even denied anything, and in his best Nathan Therm, Cohen says "Comcast has not now admitted anything about Comcasts network management practices that we previously denied."

How can we justify Comcast's deceptive, anti-customer practices, if you keep restating the facts in a clear, undeniable manner?

| I've got an idea... Let's take the lead of EU of pressing insane fines everyday for non-compliance and sue when they refuse to pay up. Seems like it is working just fine for them, why not try it here? 
It may just be me, but are cable internet opperators more willy to mess (caps, anti-bittorrent actions, etc.) with their customer's connection compared to DSL internet operators? | |

| Dumb It seems pretty dumb and short-sighted of Comcast to basically call out Martin and the FCC on this. Don't they remember that Martin pretty much despises all things Cable?
The cable Co's haven't gotten any breaks from Martin since he's been the FCC head, what do they think is going to happen if they pick a fight? Dumb move on the part of Comcast as they have basically just sealed their fate concerning future traffic-shaping possibilities. It will more than likely be shut down completely now. (Not that that would be a bad thing!) | |
