In a move that violates the very concept of Net Neutrality, one of the founding principles of the Internet --- that all data is treated the same --- tests have shown that Comcast is blocking certain types of P2P traffic. It appears that the technology has not rolled out nationwide --- nor is it consistent --- based on testing, however.

You may recall that in August Comcast denied such shenanigans.

I'm just getting wind of this and have been a little suspicious about it myself as a Comcast subscriber.
