I use BitTorrent as its the easiest means to share my family videos who are all over the world, they join our private Bit Torrent server and download our personal clips of when Sue's kid is calling mommy "dada" and is being pulled by her family dog in Hong Kong. I'm about ready to drop Comcast too. Yeah, where do I sign?

It's bad enough they charge an absurd amount of money for their service. Playing the internet bouncer for their overpriced club is just ridiculous. I'm glad they were caught and I hope this goes class action. Its time for greedy, evil corporations to pay for their mistakes... Excellent!

I'm sure Comcast would just love to have all of us PAY $70/mo or more for their "10 Mbps" HIGH SPEED broadband then only use it to load 12KB Google pages and a 1.5 MB email attachment here and there, but unfortunately for those cons that's not what people use internet for anymore. People have a right to EVERY PACKET they pay for. This guy's gonna win because the Judges and jurors themselves are customers and KNOW what's it's like to be SCREWED OVER by cable, phone, and satellite companies. 1) Fraud, 2) deceptive advertising, and 3theft -- what less should we expect from the company which took over scandal-riddled Adelphia? (yes, THEFT -- when Comcast takes your bandwith without your permission, and then turns and re-sells it to other customers -- they are STEALING from you! That was YOUR bandwidth! you BOUGHT and PAID FOR it! They are stealing your property!) I hope they lose.

BitTorrent speeds suck during the day, then at <em>exactly</em> 1am, they pick up until I don't know when. British Telecom (BT) in the UK does this too, though they deny it.
