I got an email back from comcast saying that they "do not throttle bittorrent" and that it's not an official comcast statement and shouldn't be taken "at face value"-- so they're just blocking it all around and don't want to admit it, as I figured. As far as fiber optic, as nice as that would be, I'm in Olathe, so I don't think it's an option. I'm looking into Everest, but their website is pretty bare, so it's kinda hard to find out about things. I figure I might as well try encrypted bittorrent, but having to use special means to use bittorrent is as bullshit as having to use a voice changer to call for pizza delivery, so if that's the only way around it I'm not going to stay with them.
Annoyingly, it seems like all these companies are bundling phone service, which I really don't need or want-- I've been free of a land-line phone for years, cell phone only. On the other end of the spectrum, there's internet only, which doesn't cover the TV.
You all are complaining about TW/RR, but they were by far the best cable ISP I
have ever seen since @Home went under-- 4 included IPs, servers allowed,
reasonable prices... Up here I need to deal with Cox who would want about
$100 for the same service TW charges $42 for.
As far as NKC's fiber thing, IIRC when I looked at that, their prices were a
bit higher than TW's with nothing special to justify it.
What's up with the torrent discussion? TW is not Charter...
