Why I do agree that Comcast violated Net Neutrality, I do want to mention that Comcast and all their previous cable companies, AT&T BB, Mediaone and Continental Cable Vision had a no server clause. One of the original reasons was that cable TV systems had a very low available bandwidth for upload. I'm not sure if this restriction still exists. I have never had them block any of my incoming ports including 80. On the up side, my cable has had virtually no downtime since Comcast took over from AT&T BB. The bottom line for me is that they provide me with a very reliable class of service with good download bandwidths. I've been downloading SuSE 10.3 for the installfest tomorrow at a bandwidth of just over 6Mbps.
