I have the bundled Comcast setup (TV + phone + broadband) and overall it's fine. I torrent some, mostly for .iso files of distros. I haven't been hit by throttling, but I also don't leave the torrents going 24/7. I let them go to a ratio of 2:1 or 3:1 and call it a day, while also limiting my upload speeds to 100Kbps. As long as I've been running them them seem fine. We'll see what happens on the next go around of a distro release...

Just saw this earlier. Am I the only one that's appalled by this? I've sent them an angry letter and had a chat with one of their internet chat employees, and if they don't reverse this soon I'm planning on leaving. Does anyone know any good ISPs in the area? Bundled cable (or at least, not satellite) TV is a big plus. I'm looking at Roadrunner, Time Warner, AT&T, and a friend told me about a company called Everest, but of course their marketing sites don't tell you the bad and the ugly of it.
Thanks
