I didn't realize it was only 11000 months old. I thought it was more like 1010 times that age.

If the carriers are marketing "Internet access" then it's deceptive to be anything other than "net-neutral" and the FTC should use its existing powers to force them to at least change their marketing.
Well, now that's just not true. None of the amendments in the Bill of Rights are absolute. Not one. They were not intended to be absolute, either, according to the Founders. Every single one has exceptions.
The constitution, as written, is a whitelist of things the government is allowed to do. The bill of rights is a list of examples of things it is not allowed to do. This suggestion that there are exceptions has no basis in the text of either one. I'll never understand how some people can read, "congress shall make no law," "shall not be infringed," "no person shall be deprived of life liberty or property without due process of law," and other similar statements and come up with "this isn't absolute."
National police are concerned that banknotes encourage criminal activity and should therefore be removed from circulation. The head of the your nation's Money Laundering Clearing House says criminals prefer cash because it is harder for police to track. In contrast, a record of electronic money transfers remains in the banking system, which makes the police's job considerably easier. He also says ordinary law-abiding citizens rarely use the banknotes anyway.
As we say on Slashdot, "There, fixed that for you."
No mod points but AC needs to be visible:
The study found that female bots received on average 100 malicious private messages a day while the male bots received an average of 3.7.
says Jose Olberholzer, a professor of bioengineering at the University of Illinois. 'The discovery of insulin was important and certainly saved millions of people, but it just allowed patients to survive but not really to have a normal life.
Sure, having to test yourself several times a day and shoot yourself at least daily isn't technically normal but people whose diabetes is under control with insulin and who are otherwise healthy can lead productive lives just like the rest of us.
If you want to talk about a medical treatment that " just allowed patients to survive but not really to have a normal life" talk about the iron lung or something along those lines.
Didn't IBM intimidate a would-be litigant out of suing by threatening to sue them on the same claims once before? IBM is like the big brother asterisk from the Pink Panther cartoon "Pink Punch"...
Seriously, find a handful of known-high-bandwidth places to download stuff from and download some large files from each of them and use your PC's network-monitoring tools to gauge your bandwidth.
As for as upstream, get some email account from various providers, compose a message, and attach a large-ish file.
Note - if your ISP gives you "burst speed" you will have to "burn through that" before you start getting "real" numbers.
Suppose, just suppose, that the tapes do show something like the ex-employee clearly violating work rules.
Now it becomes a question of free speech - are the work rules enforceable or not? If not, he's got a legitimate gripe with his employer.
On the other hand, if he didn't say anything in the conversation that violates work rules, he definitely has a legitimate gripe with his employer.
In either case, he probably has a case against Comcast and/or the specific Comcast employee for violating his privacy/tortuous interference, etc.
My guess is Comcast's lawyers will try to make the Comcast employee who called the customer's employer out to be a "rogue" and try to pass legal responsibility on to him.
If your typical non-flying-car-driver can't upgrade to a "flying car" license without a bunch of hassle and cost, this will be a niche market at best and likely an economic failure.
