Since last year's revelation that Comcast was indeed throttling BitTorrent traffic from customers of their broadband internet service it brought them to the attention of the FCC, where they're already vigorously defending themselves.

I agree with 7thsinger, Zippy you have done it again!

I only thing I can add is they are being more fair than that. According to all my neighbors they have been throttling them as well. They do not know what is going on but they all claim their service is much slower than it used to be. Some do not have networks and their kids are too young for p2p (I think). They are reaming anyone that is in an area with only one carrier. They only get one barrel. If you do ANY p2p you get both.

I bet they are much more afraid of this judge than the FCC. I know I would be!
