Comcast Gives the Finger to BitTorrent Users
If you download too much stuff, Comcast is going to cut off your access. After the FCC ruling that said that Comcast was out of line by shaping their bandwidth to limit the types of connections its users could make, Comcast shrugged their shoulders and said “Fine, cut ’em off.”
After all, an Acceptible Usage Policy, which all users agree to prior to getting service, is the best and simplest way to enforce proper usage. I have the rest of this story over at Geeks Are Sexy.
Me? I ain’t worried. I have FIOS, and I love it. Except when they were giving all new users free HDTV’s. I was with the company for almost two years by the time that promotion came around, and I didn’t get anything. But at least I have great internet service.
