Comcast Told To Stop Throttling - FCC Demand Compliance In 30 days

[GhostShip]

Just when Comcast though they had managed to bluff their way out of defrauding their customers who had paid for a service Comcast seems to have had no intention of delivering.

The FCC has released its 67 page order, which spells out in profound detail just how unacceptable it found Comcast’s discriminatory policy against the BitTorrent protocol. In fact, the order is so berating to Comcast that one would think it was written by the very BitTorrent uploaders the ISP sought to throttle. Today’s official order supplements the August 1, 2008, announcement by Chairman Kevin Martin, who agreed with public complaints that Comcast was in violation of net neutrality standards.

There’s some damaging verbiage from the Commission, to the delight of many BitTorrent users who felt slighted by the company’s management policy.

Let us hope other companies look at the damage done to Comcasts reputation and think twice before they too try to pull the "bait and switch" trick on their customers.

Its already happened in the UK, but half the folks here just rolled over and took it. Some just moved to diffrent ISP's lke myself. BT used to throttle me terribly at eveing times, i showed them the boot and walked with my cash, but i still see lots of people still on BT, maybe its their payment options, Giro slip's etc who knows, maybe other ISP's could look at these payment schemes.
