Comcast throttling BitTorrent

   19 Oct 2007 ~ 4:13pm RWB I have a problem... if all I wanted to do was browse the web and send emails then I would only "need" a dialup connection, but for ease of use and generic stuff for fun I'd want only a 1Mb/s connection which is more than enough for the run of the mill streaming video/radio and generic use of the internet including playing video games.
   
   So my problem comes when these *******S sell you a 7Mb+ connection and say "you can't do this... or that... AND THAT TOO!" If you don't have the capability to handle the traffic, then don't sell what you ain't got!
