Cocmast is *NOT* afarid of bittorrent competing with their TV service. I have sold comcast for almost a year now and I think I've heard every excuse possible not to buy the television service of the thousands of people I've talked to I've never once heard the excuse that bittorrent took the place of their television service. Comcast jacks up the prices anyway for customers who get their internet service and not TV service so either way they win really. No I think Comcast is just thinking that the less bandwidth is being sucked into bittorrent the less money they have to spend buying the bandwidth. The other thing is that they can advertise having faster connections because they are really trying to compete with FIOS in some areas. Well I’ll say this.

That is unless you are running a internet business or playing games online.

Doesn't anyone remember that they are going to be going to a pay per byte system? Who cares how fast or better their system is when you are going to have to pay outrageous fees to use it?
