So basically what that means is that the FCC supports this block? Damn.

One thing that us comcast users can't solve is, when downloading a
torrent, we get kicked from the internet and have to plug our
modems back in.

hi Tiff,
We need to get to the bottom of the comcast thing. Is it a
wireless issue,
a router issue a comcast issue???
Have you for instance been able to et a connection by plugging
the modem
directly into your mackbook? If you can do that, can you get a
connection
with the modem connected to the router and your macbook connected
to the
router? If you cahn do that, we need to look at the wireless
issue. If
everything is setup right, we need to figure out what is
interfering with
your connection and there are plenty of possibilities and work
arounds.
Some MacBooks don't have much wireless range so you may need to
see if you
can get an usb wireless adaptor that will work with your Macbook.
I think
there are other options here but they are less certain to work.
I also do
not know if there is even a usb wireless adaptor that will work
with the
mac.
The reason to bother with all this is that using dial up will be
more of a
pain than you might realize especially if there is a choice.
I hope this can be sorted out. I know others have tried and
died, but I've
been able to successfully trouble a number of comcast issues.
