"Surrender, Comcast!" declares the FCC in its Order on P2P blocking. The agency also calls on the public to stay vigilant on the issue and aligns itself more closely with the net neutrality movement.

Comcast agreed last year to change the way it was dealing with supposedly "heavy" users, after it came out (following many denials from Comcast) that the company was using a rather heavy-handed manner to block certain services from working, without bothering to tell anyone.

F*ck Comcast. I took media attention just for them to lift a finger.

Ars sums up the reaction from around the Internet to the FCC's Order finding Comcast's past P2P throttling practices to be in violation of its Internet Policy Statement.

Comcast is facing a nationwide class action lawsuit for cutting off the BitTorrent traffic of their subscribers.

The lawsuit aims to stop the misleading advertising used by Comcast, and to compensate BitTorrent users for the disruption to their service.

ISPs have been throttling BitTorrent traffic for years now, but only recently has this turned into a political issue.

In a huge victory for BitTorrent users, the FCC has now announced that it will order Comcast to stop interfering with BitTorrent traffic.

The FCC's Kevin Martin announced late Thursday that he wants to act against Comcast in the ongoing debate over the company's P2P throttling scheme.

If he can round up two more votes, net neutrality could soon be coming to an FCC near you.

Comcast has been vocal in making the claim that the FCC actually lacks the authority to rule on traffic management practices, but the company recently made the opposite argument in court as it worked to have a lawsuit against it put on hold.

It's no secret to most readers that Comcast's outsourced techs are often late, rude and incompetent, and that calling customer service is more akin to improving dialogue in a Beckett play, but as this exclusively obtained internal Comcast powerpoint shows, it's no secret to the cable company either.

Comcast has run into more legal troubles over its forced TCP reset packets, as three class-action lawsuits have been filed this week against the company for false advertising and fraud.

Time Warner is in a bit of hot water with the city of Los Angeles, too, for deceptive business practices and false advertising.
