One to watch.... - skippy the wonder dog - 11-15-2007

Comcast subscriber sues over restricted filesharing:

I've heard that Rogers chokes torrents, which to me seems like a pretty clear violation of the rights its subscribers should reasonably expect to have: they advertise their service as "high speed," but then restrict the speeds of users who actually use their connections to capacity.

The same principle is in play here.
