I’ve been hearing a lot about Comcast throteling back folks that have an upstream anything larger than a consumer class web surfer. Chris Pirillo had a good rant about it on his Ustream.TV feed last night. I sure hope he puts that bit of video up on youtube.

Being a Comcast customer active in streaming radio and soon to be video streaming, this topic is near and dear to my heart. Thus far I’ve had no problems.

I also stream from our home in Toronto via Rogers cable. Rogers has a monthly ceiling, but I’ve yet to hit it.

I think it’s time for someone who can document Comcast has cut them back to challenge it in the courts. If one is streaming or transferring information, it’s a violation of your rights to free speech. You payed for the service and they are cutting your free speech short! Maybe the ACLU would back a case like that!
