First , the secure intelligence : Comcast and BitTorrent are joining forces to “ pass BitTorrent ’s technology more smoothly on Comcast ’s broadband web , and allow Comcast to enchant video recording files more effectively over its own web in the future . ” Yes , Comcast is going to embrace net neutrality completely by the end of the twelvemonth , allow all sites and program equal approach to bandwidth . Hey , that ’s a alteration of policy , right ? Ca n’t complain about that . That does n’t entail Comcast is now the ISP of choice for heavy BT users , however .
Comcast CTO Tony Warner says that “ Rather than slow traffic by certain types of software program – such as file - share software or companies like BitTorrent – Comcast will slow down traffic for those drug user who consume the most bandwidth . ” So feel free to use BitTorrent , just do n’t use it too much or your speed will duck down to nothing .
This will in all likelihood top to the oddment of all - you - can - eat wideband programme and force cloggy downloaders to ante up redundant for all their bandwidth in the dear futurity . But hey , at least everything is on the level now , right ? At least we opine so . [ WSJviaTorrentFreak ]
