Internet access isn't some sort of constitutional right. Like our highways we drive on, it's a privilege. If you don't like what an ISP is doing then start your own company. Seriously, go find some funding, like a couple of million dollars, then create a giant network that spans an entire company. And when some user starts slowing down your entire network from his grandma's basement, let me know what steps you take to address that user.

Nice try, but the apologist ruitine fails. You can't seed doubt on a scam this flagrant. What's next? Let me guess... Comcast had a legit use for Sandvine? "Evidence for this is where?"
