Sounds very much like a child in a playground who got scolded for throwing rocks at another. He goes running around whining about how the playground monitor will yell at you if you're thinking about stepping foot onto the playground.

Baby.

Wah wah wah. Comcast is just bitter. Yes, the government is going to slap you when you doing something wrong, and will legislate when people are hurt or complain. Block legitimate traffic or services customers are using then you should expect a backlash.

Comcast, and other companies like them, need to be eliminated as the sole providers for internet access. When all the other ISPs were bought out, and/or went out of business, these companies have less a desire to provide a true service, and more an incentive to squeeze every dollar from the consumer, in any wacky conceivable way they can.

There must be alternatives again, soon.
