I got an email back from comcast saying that they "do not throttle bittorrent" and that it's not an official comcast statement and shouldn't be taken "at face value"-- so they're just blocking it all around and don't want to admit it, as I figured. As far as fiber optic, as nice as that would be, I'm in Olathe, so I don't think it's an option. I'm looking into Everest, but their website is pretty bare, so it's kinda hard to find out about things. I figure I might as well try encrypted bittorrent, but having to use special means to use bittorrent is as bullshit as having to use a voice changer to call for pizza delivery, so if that's the only way around it I'm not going to stay with them.
<br><br>Annoyingly, it seems like all these companies are bundling phone service, which I really don't need or want-- I've been free of a land-line phone for years, cell phone only. On the other end of the spectrum, there's internet only, which doesn't cover the TV.

You all are complaining about TW/RR, but they were by far the best cable ISP I<br>have ever seen since @Home went under-- 4 included IPs, servers allowed,<br>reasonable prices... Up here I need to deal with Cox who would want about
<br>$100 for the same service TW charges $42 for.<br><br>As far as NKC's fiber thing, IIRC when I looked at that, their prices were a<br>bit higher than TW's with nothing special to justify it.<br><br>What's up with the torrent discussion? TW is not Charter...
