Lets go back to having publicly funded information infrastructures at least then all profit goes into upgrading the infrastructure. Didn’t hear no bitching when the phone companies were run by the government… Oh thats right because they were upgraded in a timely manner and gave you good service for a fair price. WOW! what a concept.

Use telus(30GB limit their contract disables them to block any thing) or shaw(100 GB limit but i think they can block some stuff..)
and this is west coast so if u like in PEI it won’t work because no one lives there u loner.

I don’t see how ISPs can’t be sewed for this? The way they block the packets is impersonating you sending disconnect packets to your peers. Secondly.. they need to pass laws that allow competition amongst isps. Comcast moves in only alternative is DSL. No other cable companies… since they are all the same “type of service”. Maybe verizon FIOS? I have heard both good and bad. Maybe Internet2 (massive WAN everywhere with very high speed)… will come out one of these days. I am getting really tired of bs like… oh those are the speeds you get but if you use them we will rape you. Besides who needs 8mbps with powerboost to browse websites? Nobody. If I want to upload any legit file I have onto BT I can’t because comcrap’s upload cap.
