		<description>[quote comment=&quot;306281&quot;]Why the heck are you with Bell Canada?  Switch to a decent ISP like MyCybernet or something.[/quote]


fyi... mycybernet sucks. while i&#039;m sure its better than bell, there service is horrible and they don&#039;t/can&#039;t fix problems when you do have them and you&#039;re pretty much on your own. i&#039;d suggest someone a little more reputable who can actually solve your problems instead of just saying &quot;it&#039;s not our fault&quot;</description>

And Sandvine is an innocent party in all of this? Give me a fucking break, you little tool.

If Sandvine didn&#039;t offer Bittorrent throttling using forged RST packets in the first place, then large greedy companies couldn&#039;t use that service to screw over their customers.

I detect the aroma of COCK in your breath.

As for Sandvine... That&#039;s one more shrimp on the barbie. Have fun sizzling right next to MediaDefender and the rest of its sleazy ilk; That&#039;s your fate for joining the war to end filesharing, a goal which is truly synonymous with the word &quot;futile&quot;.[/quote]


Is Flaming Necessary? Can&#039;t You Express Yourself W/Out Flaming???

After 1 F Word For Every 3 You Type I Don&#039;t Even Feel Like Reading To See If You Really Have A Point Or Not. 

Don&#039;t Be So White Trash &#039;N&#039; Gather A Decent Vocabulary. U Know?

Neither do I use Comcast (heck, I don&#039;t live in America at all) nor do I have anything to discuss with people who advocate those fraudsters and say that freedom of speech is crap. 

So please, just go and lick your masters&#039; asses. Maybe they&#039;ll throw a bone to you for being a good doggie.</description>

		<description>ProdigyDancer,

I won&#039;t even ask what the nickname is for... so do you know Ryan... you two seem to have much in common.

If you don&#039;t like Comcast so much then leave.  Fact is less then 5% of all users account for over HALF the bandwidth consumed at any one time.  That doesn&#039;t seem very fair to me.

The guy that invented this stupid protocol even said in a recent interview he designed BitTorrent to be unusually sloppy with its use of bandwidth.  He thought it was funny... you know screw the ISPs.

So finally an ISP has the balls to enforce the agreement YOU signed when you signed up for the service and all you can do is bitch like a little school girl and wish people into bankruptcy.  

What is even funnier are you loosers whinning about net neutrality... what... you going to pull that freedom of speach crap again?


PULLLEEEEZZZ!!!

Here&#039;s the deal Nancy... quit Comcast and get another service and sshut the fuck up...

Now fetch me a drink before I have Gilligan come over there and kick your ass...</description>

		<description>I very sincerely hope that not only Sandvine will perish but that everyone involved will die a slow agonizing death. It&#039;s just what fits them best.

[quote comment=&quot;306859&quot;]the ones who abuse the ISP service the most...[/quote]
...are actually paying their hard earned for the service. Why exactly shouldn&#039;t we get what we pay for? High management of Comcast and the likes of them should look in dictionary for the word &quot;honesty&quot;. Because they have no clue about it.

[quote comment=&quot;306859&quot;]And Sandvine most definitely won&#039;t go bankcrupt.[/quote]
And also pigs will fly? Yeah, sure.

		<description>Ryan,

Do you use your thumbs when you type?? Because I&#039;m thinking not... you don&#039;t have any... 

Between the vulgar laced diatribe you occasionally have some morsal of truth in your statements... even a blind squirrel can find a nut now and then.

But who is evil and who is the victim.  If you want the bandwidth to shove your content upstream then pay for it.  The systems you make fun of actually are designed to make sure that when you are ready to upload or download your daily requirement of beastyology and kiddy porn - its there ready for you to use.

The ones who bitch the loudest - like you - deserve it the least.  Without these systems other users... oh say a doctor trying to read an X-ray downloaded from the local hospital, or a business person trying to conduct VALID business on the web their internet connection works... period.

You want to upload your ass off - then pay for it you 2-bit looser...</description>

No... I guess not... Gilligan... fetch me another drink and don&#039;t forget the umbrella!</description>

First off, I am against what Comcast did and the way they did it.

However, you are the tool.  Sandvine makes a product that does a lot more than just what you are bitching about.  In fact, your cable connection wouldn&#039;t be usable without the network management techniques employed by cable operators.

Maybe you should get that tool out of your mouth and do some research.[/quote]

And maybe you should get your head out of your ass. The issue isn&#039;t a private company using traffic shaping management on their own company computer network. The issue is scumbags at Sandvine deliberately pitching their product to ISP&#039;s for the sole purpose of denying to paying customers the bandwidth level that was promised, contracted, and paid for. A private company traffic shaping their own computer system is one thing. What Comcast and Sandvine are up to is not only wrong but technically illegal and now they&#039;re both going to pay the price.

Next time perhaps it should be YOU doing some research before commenting. Now back on your knees. There&#039;s still plenty of industry sausage for you to service.</description>

		<description>Thank you everyone for sharing your opinions and information on this issue..

Though I don&#039;t understand the whole issue as it pertains to torrent traffic, traffic shaping, etc., I find it quite interesting reading.

Thanks for helping to point someone like myself in the direction to research this issue further with your links to articles and all.  :)

As for the comment (#38) as to :

&quot; Sandvine&#039;s solutions are the most powerful ones in existence, and really, the Comcast incident was an accident. &quot;



I don&#039;t understand what this means..??

How is what Comcast did using this Sandvine thing considered an &quot;accident&quot;...??

Did I miss something..?? 

Everything that I have read about this so far points to Comcast using this technology to deliberately block (or as they claim &quot;delay&quot; ) bittorrent traffic...  

If the act is deliberate, then it can be in no way considered an &quot;accident&quot;.

Or am I missing something here..??

Thanks...

Sandvine&#039;s solutions are the most powerful ones in existence, and really, the Comcast incident was an accident.  You need to get your facts before you go around being a dick.  People who complain are the ones who abuse the ISP service the most.  And Sandvine most definitely won&#039;t go bankcrupt.[/quote]

The Comcast incident was an &quot;accident&quot;? Bitch, let&#039;s get something clear.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandvine#Controversy

Sandvine&#039;s services to Comcast are configured BY DEFAULT(hence, configured by Sandvine itself) to wreak havoc with BitTorrent connections. In addition, the fact remains that without their little cohort, nobody using Comcast would be getting forged RST packets terminating their BT connections to begin with. 

You, sir, are a major league cocksmoker, and Sandvine Inc. is on the receiving end.

Oh, and as for your LOL-worthy &quot;people who complain are the ones who abuse the ISP service the most&quot; comment, apparently you have never heard of anyone utilizing BitTorrent for legitimate content distribution. You know, like that one obscure, little known game studio... I think it&#039;s called Blizzard Entertainment?</description>

		<description>They (Sandvine) were not traffic shaping... they were spoofing... the Sandvine Box cannot traffic shape... it&#039;s out of line... it&#039;s a POS... And ellacoya is not in the rogers network... Cisco is.. 
Sandvine should go out of business unless it improves it&#039;s technology.. and Comcast needs a really big fine... because they&#039;re lazy monopolists..</description>

First off, I am against what Comcast did and the way they did it.

However, you are the tool.  Sandvine makes a product that does a lot more than just what you are bitching about.  In fact, your cable connection wouldn&#039;t be usable without the network management techniques employed by cable operators.

Maybe you should get that tool out of your mouth and do some research.[/quote]

Maybe you should pull Sandvine&#039;s cock out of your mouth and grow a fleck of integrity. Or is that even possible for you?

LOL, yeah... You aren&#039;t a tool. Sure, you&#039;re trying to abdicate Sandvine from guilt by laying all the blame on Comcast, while ignoring the fact that Sandvine ENABLES Comcast to fuck with torrents in the first place, but you aren&#039;t a tool. No fucking sir.

...

That was sarcasm, incase you missed it. You are indeed a tool, a complete and utter one. Now then, why don&#039;t you stop dicking around on the Internet and get back to shining Dave Caputo&#039;s balls like a good little lackey?[/quote]
