Comments on: Comcast packs 'em in at FCC hearing

The company admits it hired people off the street to save places for its employees. But some, apparently, also took up some of the precious few seats, displacing potential critics.

Seems to me that the higher-ups at Comcast are a little nervous. They should be.

They have been slowing down our internet connection based on certain websites. This is illegal.

Okay, Dade. Don't have a crash override after your zero cool bottoms out with some acid burn, okay, Lord Nikon?

They are. Not "their"

It is amusing how many people really don't understand what is going on.

QOS on a private network is totally different then net neutrality. I

We're lucky enough to have an alternative where we live (south of Boston). Verizon FiOS just became available and we are scheduled to make the switch from Comcast for TV, Internet and telephone.

Comcast seems desperate as they are flooding the TV with ads but to lure users away from DirectTV with no reference to Verizon FiOS. They must know they are way behind the technology as Verizon strings more and more fiber optic in towns around our area. They came in late; but they came in with FIOS and are so busy they can barely keep up with people switching from Comcast.
