Lol, good. Idiots. My friend has Comcast and his internet is going down all the time, and his dad is a complete nerd and would know if it was something wrong with his router or something.

I won't say "owned" until the court says "pay up". A step in the right direction, for sure.

IS this because they are allowing things like torrents, or not allowing? Im out of it today.

NOT allowing. They were BLOCKING torrents -- and are probably getting fined. 1.77 Trillion? Probably not...

They were doing something along the lines of injecting packets that made BT clients disconnect. It never affected me, oddly.

Comcast has been excelent for me and only goes out with the power. I just wish they would offer a better upload in my area.

Oh, well i've downloaded quite a few torrents over the past few years (30 gigs worth?) and I have Comcast. I remember like a year ago a bulk email went out from them saying they'll cut your internet if they catch you downloading them.

Telstra is doing this in Australia as well.

filtering bit torrent?

or being total pricks because they basically have the monopoly?
certainly the second but comcast's shithole seems to be made of torrent filters.

i dont think it's Bittorrent specifically. but my bro said he was having Problems with Edonkey.
apparently 80% of his servers are blocked, but when he came here he could see all of them. (i'm on a different ISP)

he managed to get a number from someone in the Industry and took it to them about it. Their response "where not at liberty to discuss it".
