Net neutrality simply acts to turn jurisdiction of the ‘net over from corporations to the government. I’m not sure who’s worse.

At least its all out in the open now, huh? Listen, I am not going to steer you one way or the other but I will say this: Clear just unveiled their first and brand new 4G network (the mobile card you can download anywhere in the city, even outside) and without the commitment of the triple package, for about half the cost. If you like downloading music & movies like I do and aren’t into ‘keeping track’ of usage…. Clear has NO SPEED or DOWNLOAD caps that should sound pretty awesome. I am just a happy Clear customer that is happy to be free of the package and not forced into Qwest or Verizon. I would be happy to share with anyone where I signed up: ariesgoddess27@yahoo.com

Its stupid, the money comes from the customers anyhow, avg it is wha 300 to 400 USD for comcast bill for digital TV and cable, all you get is this throttling BS, laggy DVR boxes that work like crap, every TV station has a commercial, there Always playing 1980′s movies, if there are any 2000′s movies there on tbs, usa, spike etc.

You’re forced to download a movie because there cable movies suck, they charge 5.99 to 10.99 for on demand movies which is ridiculous.

Now Rogers in Canada is awesome, there price is very good, there constantly playing, not so old but almost newly released movies which comcast are renting for 10.99.

Oh yea, soon soon I’m going back to Canada, there awesome ppl. And Canada do not hype n gripp on you about downloading movies, which you really don’t need to cuz they play it on there basic channels anyhow.

Canada You RoxXXXX!!!!!!

[...] A couple of years back Comcast gained some bad press for throttling BitTorrent traffic on their network while pretending they were doing no such thing. After several reports confirming the throttling and a leaked memo, the FCC ordered them to stop. A few class action lawsuits later, and Comcast has put $16 million dollars into a fund to pay back users they swindled with their BitTorrent throttling. [TorrentFreak] [...]

Dear people

Stop your bitching, now.
You don’t have 60 gb monthly limits. Most of your ISP’s don’t throttle bit torrent.
Come to Canada. Then you’ll have something to bitch about in terms of internet!

Thankfully, I’m on MTS in Manitoba, but there are some places here that use bell and shaw. At my parents, shaw is what they use. They throttle bt like crazy, even with incription set to forced. (Unless I get a hole pile of torrents going).

It’s not just BT that Comcast throttles – try watching a full episode on Hulu or some other service. The $16 is a joke, and Comcast’s money grubbing is even worse.

When will someone (Congress?) take on the providers and force real competition? Where I live, it’s Comcast or nothing for cable and internet. Why can’t I choose between them, TWC, Optimum, whomever? It’s like the days of Ma Bell all over again.
