" but exactly what use is it, even for non-business use, to initiate only PARTIAL downloads of files via BitTorrent."

They don't mess around with downloads, only uploads.

"Is there a big market for only half the KJV, or half of Office 2003?"

If you want the whole thing why don't you buy it.

Hey, loving the buzz around net neutrality. It's been a matter of time, and the first shoe has fallen.

If you were hired today as a consultant for Comcast PR and Corporate Communications, what would you do?

Not sure if you're trying to win the Troll contest or what here...

From the AP test article in a previous post: "Only uploads of complete files are blocked or delayed by the company, as indicated by AP tests."

It's long been known that Comcast and other ISP's limit upload speeds. If you don't want them limited you need a business account.

Stop complaining, Mashable is so cliched.

what does this mean? I'm not a tech head. I live in Sacto and have comcast. And it seems pretty slow.

We have a Comcast insider? You need to tell me about these things Mark...

What is this "Net Neutrality" BS you keep mindlessly preaching? Don't give me some "it's free speech on the internet" crap. COMCAST OWNS THE FRIGGIN WIRES STUPID. They don't want YOUR porn getting THEIR shiny wires all dirty. Do you know how long it takes to scrub the inside of a T15 cable after you download 20 gigs of Hentai?!?!

Let's just say there are countless unmentionable images that clog up their cables (especially the fibre optic ones), and it costs ALOT of money to clean them off. They have a right to keep their networks spic-and-span, so leave Comcast alone!!!

I feel so bad that this negative article ended up on MY blog. I think I'm going to forward it to Comcast, and try to apologise before they get mad. Because I DON'T want to get hurt.
