Default New Tip For ComCast User's

For you people that are with comcast I have found out that they are starting to throttling P2P traffic as of late.Good news, good news, right? Nope, not really. What they're going to do instead is throttle all file transfers for high-usage consumers.

What Tony Warner, Comcast's chief technology officer Told the WSJ (paid subscription required) is that rather than throttle P2P, Comcast will throttle all traffic for those high-usage customers. Of course, as with Comcast bandwidth caps, the exact definition of "high" wasn't elaborated upon.

So, as we move toward more services that require high usage, such as IPTV, Hulu, Netflix's streaming service, iTunes movie rentals, and the like - ISPs are telling us "don't use so much." How can this conundrum be resolved?
Simple, unfortunately. It seems likely that ISPs will begin to move en masse toward the tiered structure that Time-Warner Cable is trying out. The "all-you-can-eat" accounts will - though it will take some time - eventually peter out, if the trend continues.
