Back to the almighty dollar.

You block http, you loose 99% of customers. You block torrent, you loose 2% of your customers, all of which cost a lot more than they bring in.

And yes, they are perfectly within their legal rights to block VoIP if they want to, especially if they have a valid business case for the block.

I agree with you Clint. They have ever right to throttle your
connection, generally-speaking. But it's a concerning precedent when your
ISP decides they determine what services you can and can not connect to.

Let's say they want you to use Comcast digital phone service. Maybe they
start blocking VOIP traffic. Seems like a natural move and not at all
unlike Comcast to do.

Fozz, THANK YOU!  So clear, so concise.

W00t!  finally!  Somebody sees what I've been trying to point out all
along.  Where does it end?  Where does the limiting stop?  How much
more do I have to pay to get bittorrent (or http for that matter)
traffic?  I don't want to be using those words, EVER!

Cheers,

Clint
