Has COMCAST ever stopped you from downloading all that you want or need from the INTERNET?
Cable Giant COMCAST is told by the FCC to stop restricting what its customers can, and can't transfer.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A divided Federal Communications Commission
has ruled Comcast Corp. violated federal policy when it blocked
Internet traffic for some subscribers and has ordered the cable
giant to change the way it manages its network.
In a precedent-setting move, the FCC by a 3-2 vote on Friday
enforced a policy that guarantees customers open access to the
Internet.
The commission did not assess a fine, but ordered the company to
stop cutting off transfers of large data files among customers who
use a special type of "file-sharing" software.
Comcast says its practices are reasonable and that the FCC's
so-called network-neutrality "principles" are part of a policy
statement and are not enforceable rules.
Tell us what experience you've had with COMCAST & the downloading. Or, have you already switched to another provider?
How does this impact the war over INTERNET CONTROL?
