I never said it can't be happening, just for the record.
My friend outside Boston was bumming for a while, though.

Since when does anybody trust Comcast?
I mean sure, it would be great, but I have been personally lied to by Comcast waaay too many times for this to have any meaning.

I am glad I dumped comcast. File sharers should pay extra.

nice lip service from comcast thats all, via the wording they will not shape all traffic not just the stuff they think is illegal. not a win.
