arstechnica.com — Canadian ISP Rogers has begun trialing a new "service" via which it adds content to web pages requested by subscribers via JavaScript. Net neutrality advocates believe that this could be a sign that more abusive content modification is coming.

Well, if you can't get DSL, you're choices are limited (I suggest small DSL companies, a little slower than cable but cheaper and no limits usually). I don't know if Cogeco does Toronto but that maybe?

"DOS THEIR ASSES"Yep, because e-terrorism (for the lack of a better word) is the way to go to solve ALL your problems! Instead of complaining or advocating legislation or any of the numerous legal ways, just denial of service them! Because we all know in the real world, violence solves all of the world's problems.

You're forgetting one thing: capitalism. An ISP could offer complete net neutrality and get an advantage in the market (since everyone who wants neutrality would use that ISP). And that's precisely what one would do. This is not the government we are talking about, which can do whatever it wants. Corporations' power is always checked by competition.

Injecting is changing. If I expected a responce from a server that is 1024KBytes and I get 1025KBytes, then the payload has been changed, tampered with, altered, tainted, corrupted, forged and bamboozeled. Add/Modify/Remove are all changes.If I paint your car pink while you are going through the car wash, I have changed it, even though I have only injected something additional onto it.

Rogers' excuse for this is that they will be using the 'feature' to let you know if you are near your cap. Why not a simple email instead? The first time I see this garbage on my webpages will be the day I call up Rogers and cancel my service, all of my services - Internet, Cable, Cell Phone and Land line.
