Now consider Comcast???s offerings which permit you to download and upload unlimited data using BitTorrent with no throttling...
I had Comcast's cable plan, George. And guess what? My connection WAS tampered with, despite the fact that I only use BitTorrent when a major Linux distro release comes out(which is basically a few times every six months). I would be able to download the torrents just fine, but once the download was done, uploading stops(forged reset packets). This flipped me off because I would normally leave the client open for about ten minutes to help other downloaders out of courtesy. And don't tell me that I had to wait X minutes to upload. That's still considered a blockage by most average users.
After having a few words with Comcast's servicepeople, we switched to Verizon's DSL(no FiOS available here sadly). It's not as fast, of course, but at least I'm not blocked off.
