Comcast Blatantly Lies To Feds
I hate a liar as much as the next guy but Comcast really takes the cake on this one ... Believing they are untouchable, Comcast has blatantly lied to the FCC about throttling their customers. New data on Comcast’s interference with BitTorrent traffic shows that the company lied to the FCC this past February. Comcast has always argued that BitTorrent upstream traffic was only blocked during periods of heavy network traffic, this turns out to be a bold faced lie.
Comcast has continued to throttle their customers and are relying on strong-arm tactics like personal phone calls to customers with veiled threats to report them to various copyright holders known for filing lawsuits seeking million dollar judgments against individuals with no viable truth to support their claims. The lawsuits are meant to frighten and drive away any customer who refuses to adhere to Comcast's determination to control the Internet traffic. Other strong-arm tactics have included sending disconnect signals to your computer causing it to freeze in place which causes you to restart your computer again and again and again. This is done for those who go to bed at night leaving their machines on so they can download legal files. You wake up and find your machine stopped working an hour after you went to bed. Not only do you have to restart your computer again but the file you should have sitting on your desktop will take take many more attempts because Comcast is going to throttle you as often as they can. Is that why you signed on with Comcast? If so, then you get what you wish for.
What Comcast is doing, in short, is stealing from their own customers to attract new customers and feed them the bandwidth you are paying. Your account with Comcast includes 24/7 access to the internet with at least 6Mbts (megabits) per second. But Comcast can't sustain that kind of bandwidth for their customers - unless they steal bandwidth by throttling you or cutting back on your bandwidth speed. Comcast is literally forcing you to pay for bandwidth they promise to give you but they actually steal from you to entice other new customers to sign on with Comcast.
What can you do to stop Comcast? Drop them as your ISP provider despite their claims of fast internet service, Comcast is no faster then all the other smaller ISPs. They all use the same Internet roadway but Comcast wants you to believe they have a roadway so slick you'll want to use it. Don't.
