Comcast/BT Part 9:FCC/users round 1
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Comcast, Technology News
Well well well who said the wheels of justice turn slow? The FCC has been intimidated with comments of users “critical of the cable provider’s practices. ‘On numerous occasions,
my access to legal BitTorrent files was cut off by Comcast,’ a systems administrator based in Indianapolis wrote to the FCC shortly after the proceeding began. ‘During this period, I managed to troubleshoot all other possible causes of this issue, and it was my conclusion (speaking as a competent IT administrator) that this could only be occurring due to direct action at the ISP (Comcast) level.’ Another commenter writes ‘I have experienced this throttling of bandwidth in sharing open-source software, e.g. Knoppix and Open Office. Also I see considerable differences in speed ftp sessions vs. html. They are obviously limiting speed in ftp as well.’” quoted form here.
As the above statement says one user even complained about Comcast throttling of FTP (file transfer protocol)
