Comcast to stop hampering file-sharing. For the Forum Folk that say, "This can't be happening!"

The Snippet.:
"PHILADELPHIA - Comcast Corp., an Internet service provider under investigation for hampering online file-sharing by its subscribers, announced Thursday an about-face in its stance and said it will treat all types of Internet traffic equally"

Comcast changed their EULA to allow for such traffic shaping.

"by years end"

so a good 9 months before this might take real affect

plenty of time for an appeal to the FCC?

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.
