<snip - same drivel multiposted in other groups>

You didn't fool anyone over at 24hoursupport.helpdesk, either, where
you cross-posted to the UNRELATED newsgroups
3b.test,12hr.sex.oral,12hr.sex.normal and now you're cross-posting a
separate copy of your drivel to other unrelated groups again, like
alt.alt.sex. Guess it takes awhile to retype your post when one of
your hands is constantly busy polishing the bishop.

Well, if they are monitoring YOUR particular traffic, it would be
pretty easy for them to extract the NNTP commands while sniffing your
traffic to see what groups you were visiting that generated all that
traffic on your *personal* account with them. Maybe they're just
tired of having to deal with all the bandwidth consumption of
masturbating binary group participants so the cure would be to simply
deny the return traffic when attempting to visit the porn groups.
That certainly would cut down on a large portion of their NNTP type
traffic.

They probably have gotten complaints from other users on your segment
that they can't get any decent bandwidth - because you are sucking it
all up. Those other users didn't know it was you eating up all the
bandwidth but just knew it got slow, they complained, and Comcast
noticed the continuous high usage from your endpoint. You don't want
to share. Their solution is to let others share and take out the hog.
They have all their customers to consider, so getting rid of one bad
customer is a no-brainer to maintain all the other accounts.
Apparently you were warned before. You chose to ignore the warning.
So they decided to take action and you lost.

Go read their Acceptable Use Policy, section i. You'll know the word
that applies to you, then read section ii. Then read section vii
which applies to you sucking up too much bandwidth on the shared
segment with other users on the same segment as you. What, you
thought Comcast wouldn't or couldn't censor your traffic?

I think the encrypted feeds are more so that you
can surf from work, without being detected by
the boss. If they cannot sniff your data, and
find out what you are up to, they have to find
another reason to fire you.
