We already knew they were gaming their own customer base.
According to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comcast "Comcast has 15.930 million high-speed internet customers" If a 10G port for transit is paid by comcast $30/Mbit/s monthly that's 0.19 cent/internet customer/month for a new 10G port to properly desaturate this particular link. Did I compute something wrong? Laurent
