lord_casek Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 there's a guy from san frasncisco who is suing comcast. as for the linux distro, dunno, man. i haven't heard of anything but VPN beating them. tunneling and whatnot. encryption works well, but only sometimes you can trick them.

Guest shai_hulud Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Yeah, I think we're going to try VPN. Sorry I'm going on about this. But, we pay for the service. Comcast KNEW about P2P (not sure about BT) when they got into the ISP game. If they were smart, they would create a "unlimited bandwidth" plan, and charge more for it....and say, "We'll look the other way, it's just going to cost you more." Then they could spend some of the extra revenue on increasing and improving infrastructure. It looks like the promises that they made regarding Net Neutrality are being broken left and right.

Guest shai_hulud Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 But unless he can get better lawyers than Comcast, I'm not too optimistic. Milberg Weiss used to be THE law firm for tech class actions. They got into some trouble a while back. Actually, since he's in SF I know there's a ton of lawyers that will take cases like this. Conversely, there's a ton of lawyers that DEFEND companies like Comcast here. When they said they provided better bandwidth for music and video, I'm pretty sure P2P wasn't what they had in mind. Probably more like streaming and iTMS. It's shady, but it's that or AT&T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindvapors Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I haven't exactly "gone with it" yet, but its the one i decided to try: PClinuxOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shai_hulud Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Oh, good! I think you'll like it. You can install applications with the LiveCD with Synaptic. It loads them into RAM...which means that you lose them when you shut the machine off, but it's a good way to try stuff out. I'll help you as much as I can, but check out the PCLinuxOS forum, too. The good thing about PCLinxOS is that it doesn't require any tweaking or command line skills for most people to enjoy it. If you stick with Linux, you'll need to learn some of tht stuff eventually. It's really not that hard, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
