I Think Comcast is..

Gamling:
Yeah, I'm using comcast (nothing else in my area to use, other then dialup). Anyway I get great speeds for about 5-10 seconds, then they cap it (eg, 700kb/s down and 0-10 up, when supposedly should get 10mb/s) I find that if I throttle my upload speed below a certain point, I get better upload speed (over time.) I haven't found the exact limit, just that seeding at 65kb/s will stay that way and seeding at 90kb/s or above drops down to 0-10kb/s and stays that way. My suggestion would be find the point where comcast stops messing with your upload and just leave your torrent client on all the time.

Or spend a little bit more and go business class.  Constant 2Mb/s torrent upload speed is pretty cool.

Onoz:
You've hit your 150- 250gb cap "whatever it is"

you wont get good upload speeds until next month
just try to keep a balance in how and when you download and it shouldnt be an issue/
they also throttle traffic at peak hours.
starting around 2:30-3pm until 10-11pm sometimes (They dont throttle consistently, just as need arises)
If you've got a history of high traffic you can bet you'll be the first to taste it
you can get around it in a mild to moderate way by optimizing your bt client

NaRu:
When i seed I get 500KB/s all the time. I download at 2.6MB/s. I also have comcast. I never had a problem with them

Arveene:
Comcast still throttles your connection when you use what they call "too much bandwidth in a small amount of time".

Naru: Do you have Comcast business? I know they don't throttle there.
