Comcast Starts “Net Neutral” Slowdowns of Heavy Broadband Users

Comcast is in the end rolling out its “ net neutral ” internet management scheme , starting with customers in Chambersburg , PA and Warrenton , VA . Aswe’ve explain before , Comcast says of the new plan that “ heavy users , who are doing thing like conducting numerous or continuous large file transfer , may go through slightly longer response times for some on-line activities , until the geological period of internet congestion ends . ” And it does n’t matter whether it ’s BitTorrent orgobs of GooTube .

Literally in Comcast ’s case , since it needsas much bandwidth as it can getto deliver HD contentedness . We ’re keeping our eyes peeled for more about its rumored plan to test data caps , much likeTime Warner is doing - it ’s increasingly look like the future of broadband in the US . [ Threat Level ]
