Then they have the balls to keep coming back with throttling the net (i.e. not investing in higher internet, broader access and faster speeds).
It's a fucking joke.
This doesn't even touch on the fact that the 'Bells' have snuffed out most of their 90's and early 2000's competition. So they no longer have a market force motivation to advance.

So should they invest so those that over use the system pay more or get it for the same price?
Maybe someone at Comcast looked at it from a profit and loss POV and decided it's not worth investing so those downloading on P2P in such volumes can carry on without slowing down the system for the rest.
I'm sure if they could force these abusers to switch ISPs they would.
