Re: Comcast man-in-the-middle attack

I have to admit, I haven't experienced this altered traffic pattern, but it 
is certainly interesting. But.... I think something else is going on.

Justifications for my claims:

I have 2 routes to the Internet- one via cablemodem and the other via isdl 
dedicated connection. I run web servers on the dedicated side and sniffed 
to see if what he said was true- it may be in your local area (an admin 
testing out new equipment or something, aka not intentionally using it for 
'evil corporate purposes') and I did not notice any altered packets.

Just my $3.50
