***** Comcast. - jamie06260, on 11/15/2007, -2/+62How do I get in on this lawsuit? I have Comcast and I get raped every time I connect to the internet!
- ettin, on 11/15/2007, -2/+59And the first tree fell....
- windmillninja, on 11/15/2007, -0/+46I hope they see that, because you're doing it as hard as you possibly can.
- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -1/+39Finally, someone with balls is going after these bitches. Bring 'em down!
- dan00b, on 11/15/2007, -1/+32Glad to see sanity reigns in the US at least to a certain extent.
British ISPs have been foisting their "Fair Use Policies" on users for years…and nobody's done anything about it. - vinblackham, on 11/15/2007, -1/+24This is awesome news...they totally had it coming to them!
- MonkeyFit, on 11/15/2007, -1/+18If you think bittorrent is only used for "stealing" then you are uninformed. It's a file transfer protocol and there are many legal uses for it. To use your analogy, it would be as if mall security did not let you take something that was being given away freely and legally.
- Corey1982, on 11/15/2007, -1/+13...it was only a matter of time.
- centralohioguy, on 11/15/2007, -2/+14Comcast is in the business of providing internet service; not in telling me or anyone else how to use it. I hope they get raked over the coals for this ridiculous corporate policy they've set in place.
- purpledrank, on 11/15/2007, -3/+15Yes Ur. FIRE THE QUAD LASER!!!
- slamtv7, on 11/15/2007, -0/+12Someone sue Rogers!! :( (Canadian ISP)
- krawkula, on 11/15/2007, -2/+14That must suck since you have an "always on" connection.
- ptFoe, on 11/15/2007, -5/+16America ***** Yeah
- krets, on 11/15/2007, -1/+11Whose next Boston?
- xtmno3, on 11/15/2007, -0/+10The bullet is enormous, there is no escaping!
Jumping, is useless! - inactive, on 11/15/2007, -2/+11It's Craptastic!
- Hydraulix, on 11/15/2007, -5/+14About ***** time. Now if only we can get this mad and do something about the Bush administration. :(
- Xondar, on 11/15/2007, -0/+8And Shaw Cable!!
- fudgeigor, on 11/15/2007, -2/+10Digg users: Fighting a daily Jihad against bad spelling and grammar.
- Birdoftruth, on 11/15/2007, -5/+12you're a worthless *****
- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -0/+7About ***** time
- p0tent1al, on 11/15/2007, -2/+9my eyes burn when I look directly at it
- ronaldmonster, on 11/15/2007, -4/+11Sorry, but moononites > joo
- Entheoddity, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6Its always a bad idea to ***** with a man's bandwidth.
- effinboy, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6Class action eh? I'm in.
- GreatSunJester, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6They will argue that reducing the priority of mostly illegal downloads (will be their words, not mine) dramatically increases the stability of the connection for the majority of the users. They will probably pull logs converted into colorful usage charts from before they started the filtering to after showing the overall internet experience provided to the majority of the "honest" users is improved and that is where their service has to go. The RIAA and MPAA will back them and if they get to a purchased judge, Comcast will win.
- Xondar, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6If anyone wants to take Shaw Cable in Canada to court with a class action lawsuit, I'm in.
- nospinhere, on 11/15/2007, -0/+5you really believe that?
- Mast3rDigg3r, on 11/15/2007, -1/+6HELL YEA
- edrift101, on 11/15/2007, -0/+5Just let me know where to sign up. :)
- vagarach, on 11/15/2007, -0/+5Oh yes, this is very good. The worst part is that they were starting to get away with it, and not just Comcast, all the major ISPs.
If everyone is forced to use what amounts to 2-3 times 56k level bandwidth, even with ever increasing subscriber numbers they'd *never* have to spend a cent upgrading their connections! Profit profit profit! - Tomson74, on 11/15/2007, -0/+5Man i thought Comcrap was bad, check out what Cableone is doing, how much BS is this?
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r18229477-New-band ...
Something needs to be done regarding ISP's and this BS scam. Once one starts, they all start it - asaone, on 11/15/2007, -1/+6Comcast needs to burn in hell, they are truly evil
- MikeMacMan, on 11/15/2007, -0/+5***** Comcast
- acidbass, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4Komkast: ***** you over since 1963
- baalzebub, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4i hope the judge & jury breaks it off in comcast's @$$...
- JaronDiggGuy, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4Dugg for being amazing.
- Gndoab, on 11/15/2007, -3/+7dirka dirka, mohammed jihad.
- arcticblue, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4Where did I say I did it 50 times? I actually only did it once.
- acidbass, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4well put, but crakbot is either a cia bot or a 12 year old living in kansas.
- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -2/+5I don't have any opinion on the matter either way: On one hand it does suck that Comcast is prioritizing traffic, but on the other, it's their service -- if you don't like it use someone else's. That's what consumer choice is for.
But, the title is misleading -- Comcast hasn't been "hit with" a class action lawsuit. One guy has filed suit and is *attempting to obtain* class action status.
Having done something and attempting to obtain permission to do something are not the same thing. - eschito, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3That was a DNS issue on Comcast's part, not Sandvine. Limiting Google would be immediate suicide for Comcast and you would of heard a response from Google.
- Postalwrker27, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3...How very unoriginal.
- Teh_Shiz, on 11/15/2007, -1/+4*link broke, too late to edit: http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Comcast_Sued_Over_Bi ...
- Armitage2k, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3you need to stop dancing in front of the camera when your dad is home then.
- Scheissen, on 11/15/2007, -4/+7I'm libertarian, but what Comcast has done is illegal. Look into how Sandvine works if you want to see how Comcast is invading my privacy. They even prevented Google to load for an hour or so.
- corranhorn85, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3Many modems have a "standby" mode. If you hit the button on the top/front of your modem your internet connection will be terminated.
- saintamour, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3That pretty much sums up what I feel about Comcast
- GvnMcCld, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2Wow. They never said they have full fiber optic networking to all customers, just that their backbone is fiber.
