I would just like to chime in as a Comcast customer, tonight was the first time I've tried hopping on tor browser since this rumor surfaced and traditionally when I launch the tor browser I see tor connect and I'm on.
Tonight it took a couple minutes before I was able to connect (I was able to search for this thread, catch up on every message since the 14th, and read Comcast's notice and the comments before tor was connected-Not sure if tor has ever taken that long to connect). This could just be something going on tonight or Comcast could be doing traffic shaping and this would be another Comcast will deny all interference with traffic until someone proves otherwise. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -ITG (ITechGeek) i...@itechgeek.com https://itg.nu/ GPG Keys: https://itg.nu/contact/gpg-key Preferred GPG Key: Fingerprint: AB46B7E363DA7E04ABFA57852AA9910A DCB1191A Google Voice: +1-703-493-0128 / Twitter: ITechGeek / Facebook: http://fb.me/Jbwa.Net On Wed, Sep 17, 2014 at 1:36 AM, Andreas Krey <a.k...@gmx.de> wrote: > On Tue, 16 Sep 2014 11:41:13 +0000, Joe Btfsplk wrote: > ... > > If Comcast or any ISP / mobile provider don't monitor their customers' > > activities, how are they able to regularly SELL such data to LEAs? > > What they 'sell' (and I'm rather confident they'd rather not do > this particular 'business') is giving the entire datastream of > specific customers to the LEA in question.
