This one I had already read. The passage below didn't seem
applicable (yet) because while using uTorrent, my uplink
bandwidth was normal:

"Douglas would not specify what the company means by "access" --
Comcast subscribers can download BitTorrent files without
hindrance. Only uploads of complete files are blocked or delayed
by the company, as indicated by AP tests."

So I thought, I'll wait and see if this starts happening in my
area. Actually, they seem to be pretty lenient here for the time
being. I'd have expected them to re-throttle almost immediately
after I changed my ports in WinMX yesterday, but they haven't
yet.

What do you think might result from this? If they'd provide as
much bandwidth as I want, I'd be willing to pay a little more
(even though it already costs a fortune), if I'm able to.
