Comcast... ugh..... Whats next?



 Hello Everyone, 

  Have you guys seen the latest on Comcast's latest efforts to do "traffic shaping"?  Honestly, I add this to my reasons to not use them anymore and take all business I work with off of them.  I mean none of us Unix/Linux/Bsd guys use bit torrent for accessing/sharing ISO's for our favorite distros.  Oh and don't forget you can't download more that 90gb a month.  =P  Not all uses of BitTorrent are illegal and its a perfectly legitimate technology.  And god forbid there would be other new and legal technologies for content delivery based on torrent technology that "threaten"  the stability of their pipes.  Give me a break.
