I Think Comcast is..
Xtras:
Heck I still can't get over the fact that most people have a fixed amount of data they can get from the internet every month. Just the thought of having such service disturbs me to no end.

Charter says they have such a policy in effect, but I haven't gotten any notifications, and I'm well over the limit (unless they only count downloads, which seems unlikely, but possible).

really? thats weird because its been noted on the wiki that comcast does throttle upload speeds

The only positive thing about comcast was i never got a CND letter from them. Which isnt so much a positive as it is not a negative.
I used to have to restart my computer to get internet working on it because comcast would lock me the fuck out for seeding on bit torrents.
Tested on 4 computers to make sure it wasnt something goofy like a NIC problem.
So fuck comcast.
My verizon fios is quite nice im happy with my current upload cap of 5mb, cuz i wont pay extra to upgrade it to 15mb

hmm.. how long ago was this man? For some reason my conections been just dying lately for some reason lately. I thought the wifi card in the laptop was glitching since it only seemed to fix with a restart (manually turning the card off and on didn't seem to work) But i have been seeding a lot lately.. wonder if thats whats happening

If my upload is being throttled then it goes down to 2Mib/s extremely fast or extremely slow (now more the 1 second or days).
I know its weird, but I don't complain.
