Well hell, comcast is not only NOT providing the fullest possible connection speeds... they have been caught blocking and throttling BitTorrent access as well as shutting down "bandwidth hogs". If you looked at the article i linked, you will see the kind of thing I am talking about.

The thing here, Gazz, is that they might not want to worry about it, but when the shyt really hits the fan it will be too late.

The reason they haven't really been doing the things like this before is that the internet just recently has moved away from the phone systems. Before the phone systems "common carriage" laws stopped them from acting like asses.

Now they are arguing that they have created a system all its own for the internet. And without regulation it will get bad soon.
