Or "argghhh" that people are just now figuring it out? And did you "arrgghhh" when rate limiting became commonplace about, oh, 1865? :)
It's one thing to traffic shape someone... It's quite another to meddle in the packets that they send. people are willing to tolerate transparent http proxies because they got good enough that their use was non-invasive. As a comcast customer I am aware that I am purchasing an asymetric service, there are is however a reason I got 8/768 and not 6/384. What happens when they decide my non-comcast voice or video conferencing service needs to be asymmetric instead of symmetric as well?
