If Comcast could be doing something shitty, they probably are
Do you not understand how the internet works? You're streaming pirated content that's being bounced all over the place from servers getting hugged to death. These companies can't just drop their content into aws and give your a Netflix experience. Plus even if Comcast did slow your connection intentionally, did you stop to think that they may own some of the content you're trying to steal? Would you open the door and clear a path for someone to steal your tv? Regardless, to answer your question, no. Comcast does not alter any traffic of consumers. Doesn't matter what or from where. You will get hit with a piracy notice possibly but that is the extent.
Stop streaming so much porn!
It’s just streaming, not distributing. It’s Australian tv. I can’t get it anywhere. I pay for amazon prime, Hulu and Netflix. Maybe you should chill Comcast.
I'm chill bro. I'm saying you're connecting to some questionable server located God knows where being pounded by traffic and you're curious why it's a shit experience? IDGAF if you steal, my point is it has nothing to do with your ISP. Use Kodi to get a better experience streaming pirated content.
I’m asking a question so sue me. Point was obscured by the condescension.
They used to throttle Netflix until Netflix paid up. Maybe the bill is due again.
That's been figured out. Netflix traffic was more than 50% if the network traffic and it was stressing the network. Comcast offered to help correct the issue but it would cost money to do so. They're was no reason for Comcast to pay for Netflix's needs and when they declined Comcast declined to help. They started purchasing transport from Cogent to try to bypass this because Comcast and Cogent at the time had free peering agreements. This didn't go over so well. What needed to happen was for larger bandwidth interconnects between Comcast and Cogent to be put into place There's no reason for them to be able to flood Comcast network for free.
Didn't the end user already paid Comcast for the network traffic (which the user used for Netflix)? Shouldn't this be at the discretion of how the user want to use their already paid service? Why are certain services being treated differently (throttled) than the other simply because more users wanted to use your service (which they already paid) for?
I’m only aware of Comcast throttling some of their own cell services - additional fees for higher data rates. But that’s public knowledge... we are constantly and actively protecting throughput as far as I know.
Yeah fk net neutrality. The website themselves are not neutral why should comcast be.

Did you get a job offer this year?
With Ajit Pai incharge ISPs can get away with murder. I haven’t seen a worthless piece of shit like Ajit Pai. The guy should have been sweeping floor in toilet in Bengaluru.
Literally nothing has changed. I would know.
I always try to think the best of people. However, whenever I see a picture of Ajit Pai, no matter the context, I think he looks like an idiot...
