Re: Anti-recommendation: Comcast.

 I don't suppose you could sue them for blocking ports if you can in fact 
prove you are not a spammer... something about how you are paying for a 
service, signed a legal agreement and they are most likly infringing upon 
some usability clause... I can't wait to start seeing the class action 
suits, there already is one against comcast for dropping bit torrent 
packets. It's starting to hit federal regulators that perhaps something 
"should" be done about it... but the wheels turn ever so slowly. I believe I 
am using RCN... it's actually quite good, anyone have any fun bits on them?
