Yea. Comshit dose throttle people (they claim they dont but they do) as not long ago i used a torrent to download debian dvd iso. 5 total. by the time i got to the 2nd dvd iso my speed had been killed to about 10KB/s for about 3 weeks after i couldnt download anything worth a shit due to the crappy speed.
Well, all I can say is that if there are any alternatives available then dump Comcast.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
