I hope you will like the Western way of life and an advance welcome to
Spokane. As with everywhere there are always a few drawbacks, though. If you
have never been here the topography is something you are not accustomed on
most of the East Coast and we are at ~1800+ feet elevation in the lower
areas.
Getting way OT here so will back off for awhile.
BTW I feel luck if I can get 50-75K d/l speed on the torrents. I do use
BitLord and have tried other and did not care for them. I did get a speed
increase when I set the port to 49502...about 25k on the average. I do agree
that Comcast is probably clamping on P2P.

Oh man, that low? I just got used to 8MB (Gold, 6MB is standard/silver) on
Comcast here in Nj for that much and will be moving to Spokane in the next
few months if things work out right.
If that's the speed it's a real bummer!

Comcast here in Spokane is $42.95(if you subscribe to cable..~$55 if you
don't) for 4MB down and 384 up(and that just went up a couple of months
ago). DSL is limited here...not many COs....so the bandits have no
competition. Phone company Quest is making some noise but I wonder if
they are very serious as all the do is funnel our money to the heavy
competition locations.
