Comcast IS NOT spying on you. They put packet sniffers on your incoming- outgoing data to see were it is going once you reach a certian upload/download ratio.

Anyone corrrect me if im wrong.

i didnt mean or it to be an insult, i was just stating a fact that i learned from my dads lawyer. Its in their EULA that they can and will report suspicious behavoir to the RIAA.

It also says that they work with the RIAA.

Sorry if it offened you because it was in no way ment to do so.

Quote:

A packet sniffer (also known as a network analyzer or protocol analyzer or, for particular types of networks, an Ethernet sniffer or wireless sniffer) is computer software or computer hardware that can intercept and log traffic passing over a digital network or part of a network. As data streams travel back and forth over the network, the sniffer captures each packet and eventually decodes and analyzes its content according to the appropriate RFC or other specifications.
