If Comcast weren't the fastest ISP in my area I would have switched already, but the othe companies are painstakingly slow. I just hope that this is resolved, and that net neutrality doesn't go to the way side.

In the same way that a red light doesn't "block" you from continuing forward, or the posted speed limit doesn't "block" you from going as fast as your car is capable, Comcast's practice doesn't block BitTorrent uploads.
I think that is one of the best analogies I have ever heard.

Thats the worst Analogies Iv'ever Heard of before in my life,
because comcast is like the Govenator of my car, sure it goes 140 MPH stock,but because of the Govenator(comcast)under my hood it only does 45 MPH. Unless i rip The Govenator(Comcast) out of my car it will never go stock speed.
and in the near future if Comcast isnt Stop, instead of not alowing my car to go over 45. they will just hit the destroy engine button on your car, (and call the authority's and have your lisenced Taken away)your right to brows the internet if your a bit slow on my analogies.
