Comcast: Data discrimination(!)

Comcast's latest practice of data discrimination (in my opinion) will be a crippling blow to comcast subscribers who use bittorent and P2P file-sharing programs.  Let's just hope this practice does not spread to other ISPs.

Besides real-time online gaming, file sharing programs are one of the reasons why people sign up on "hi-speed" internet.  Without them there's no point having hi-speed networks:rolleyes:


(I bet Rolex would just chuckle at the article while he surfs the internet with a maximum download/upload speed of 40mbps somewhere up "in the mountains"  :p)
