[Eug-lug] Comcast testing a new approach to throttling use

[erock23175 at aol.com]

 Yet another reason I am glad that their service isn't available to me. They obviously need to rethink their what their "true" capacity is rather than selling bandwidth hours they don't have.? AOL had the same problem, it caused even lesser ISPs to get bigger (Earthlink, PeoplePC, NetZero (back when it was free)). Hopefully the idiocy of the current high-speed providers will motivate people to liberate themselves.
