RE: [PLUG] BitTorrant and routers - and Comcast
|
Reading that story below is one thing, but Comcast always promotes its
service for faster downloading music, videos, and video emails. This of
course is going to use shit loads of bandwidth.
I can't wait for the day that a love one is cut off from the internet
because he/she has been using their webcam to much to talk to their love one
in Iraq/Afghanistan. The day that would hit the media would be the day they
rethink their download limit policy.
