| They do the same thing for PPV. It makes no difference that it's TCP/IP vs some other protocol. Those packets do not flow over your internet connection, they flow over the dedicated wires comcast runs to the customer specific for video. They don't prioritize it over other traffic - it uses a totally different channel which you pay extra to get. It's exactly what they should be doing. > The analysis merely showed that the packets were distinctly labeled for the routers No, that's not correct. The packets used a different DOCSIS channel, after the cable modem the packets were not special. If the packets went over your regular connection AND were prioritized, then that would be a violation. Anything else is not a violation, not the letter, not the spirit. Comcast is a video provider, I bought some video and they used their wires to provide it to me. Other providers don't have the same access to the customer, but that's because they have no wires to the customer. For network neutrality, other providers should have the same internet access as the customer as comcast, but this service doesn't use your internet connection, so network neutrality simply doesn't apply. |
