the issue here is not who is getting throttled or why. The issue is that Comcast is not providing the service they promise. They are aware that there infrastructure cannot support the speed they promise and so they are trying to block a small percentage of their users to make the majority think that everything is ok.

This is just wrong. Bittorrent is so easy to use now that lots of people are getting into to it without understanding how it works.
