Hi, I'm Comcast and I'd Like to Delay You

This article is to our downloaders/distrbuters. It basically deals with Comcast and their bandwidth throttling methods that have made them one of the more unfavorable ISPs in the US. This article updates the information on Comcast activities and talks a little bit about the bandwidth discrepancies between DSL and cable.

I subscribe to Cox, so I sometimes see throttling on my bandwidth when I am doing something on the Internet that is bandwidth intense and see noticable decreases in my download speeds (~200Kbps). So I can relate to those who use Comcast.

But I think about the future of ISPs... It doesn't look too pretty if they cannot satisfy their consumer's demands for faster connections or more bandwidth... Especially when other countries already provide better connection speeds and more bandwidth than most US ISPs already provide.
