I think Comcast techs report to certain dark friends who has an expensive laptop after connecting it to high speed. The only people to know that a person has a new high dollar laptop is comcast install techs.. then mysteriously those folks are robbed of their new high dollar laptops. coincidence? maybe. Maybe not!

Many of you are living in the dark about a lot of things. It takes work, effort and money from someone to create many of the files that are illegally being shared via BitTorrent. If you were the one who had their work being stolen en masse you might feel different. That being said, I use BT to trade illegal files and I use Comcast unfortunately. Comcast is in the wrong because they were deceptive about their practices; had they been upfront people would not have signed contracts with them and they know that.

@49

Possibly the most ill-informed thing I have ever read. Almost all computer tech comes out of Silicon Valley. If you play video games, many of the worlds best developers are western developers and some of the best games have come out of American devs. TV/Movies/Music… do we really need to even have that debate? If you watch some of the stuff that is on TVs in other countries, you would find them severely lacking in all areas from acting, production values, plots etc. To all those saying down with USA, grow up, because I am sure you benefit from the USA on a daily basis and are too ignorant to realize this. Grow up and educate yourselves… or go kill yourselves and take yourself out of the gene pool.

Forget compensation. Only one thing matters since the FCC ruling:

Is Comcast still using Sandvine (or anything else) to disrupt my torrent seeding?

I’d really like to know so I can relax some of the settings in my client (i.e. forced RC4 encryption).

My bittorrent was limited on upload to 40% of my original speed for the past 6 months or so.
Around the middle of June I notice that my upload speed came back to normal again. 105kb/sec. instead of being cap at 40kb/sec.

I called support at the beginnig of the problem but they denied any involtment and told that “other” things could be causing the problem but not them.

I hope they are forced to compensate their customers even if it is a meager amount. I would request my share.
But people sharing even one song are being sued for Megabucks.
5 Million amounts to 6-7 songs if the whole penalty is applied on a file shared . ( 750,000 per song ).

Something tells me that the fairness on the deal is away from us.

“It originates from Japan and other Asian countries. ”

LOL. It’s might be BUILT there. Because labor is CHEAP.

Yeah, America is full of dumb red-necks, that’s why folks from all over the planet send their kids to university here, because we’re dumb. So dumb in fact that both major CPU manufacturers are based here and do their design work here. I mean, damn, last time I was in San Jose the streets were just clogged with retards wishing they could live in a Chinese slave labor camp building iPods all day.

But carry on. Your posting is so inane you must in fact be an American, by your own definition.

On the topic of Comcast: where I am it seems seeding works. But it still sucks compered to FiOS.

Comcast should give the money to Verizon so they can expand FiOS to my neighborhood.

The receiver packets trashed the entire swarm, not just comcast customers. Every filesharer deserves a piece of this.

This site has… become quite pathetic. Bunch of children with little idea about how this world works. There is evil everywhere, there is good everywhere, the blames lies at your feet and everyones. Nothing is as it seems.

To put corporate American, the Federal government, and the people of USA in the same boat is as wrong as it is ignorant. Enough anti-intellectual comments please.

Well i’d say every Comcast customer who felt ‘throttled’ should join the party n file for compensation. Come to think of it , its actually a staight-forward case of cheating on the customers , and it must be dealt with severity.

Comcast being busted = Everyone wins.

Anti-US comments = lame, without basis. The US wins.

@49 surely you jest… not only is your information incorrect but you post follows no logic. Throwing in keywords like 911 and Bush doesn’t help make a point, it only makes you look like an idiot.
