RE: Comcast and IPSec traffic

["Dana Smith" <dana_smith () comcast net>]

Greg --

 I originated one of those posts and will say on Comcast's behalf that the
traffic subsequently started to flow again within a few days. We had already
worked around the IPSEC issue by then but figured I'd pass the info along. I
personally would be willing to pay slightly more for more bandwidth and
consistency. FWIW

Hi all,
    This goes back to a fairly old thread (8/13, not that old).
 Mark, you
sent an email asking if anyone had noticed Comcast blocking
IPSec traffic.
    Well, guess what Comcast has started advertising.  Comcast is now
offering "High-Speed Internet Pro" service.  It offers and "even faster
connection."  And among other things, they list "VPN
Compatible" on their
benefits.
    I guess that answers your question about whether they are
blocking IPSec
traffic.
