ISP P2P blocking more common then thought
p2pb.jpgComcast has told the FCC that it has been partially blocking peer to peer file transfer services during peak network usage periods in order to keep their network running smoothly for all their customers.  However, a new study from the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems says that Comcast is slowing peer to peer traffic, specifically BitTorrent traffic, "independent of the time of day."  P2P network traffic was being slowed even when there was no network congestion.  The new study also says that another cable giant, Cox Communications, is also blocking peer to peer traffic around the clock.  In fact, Cox was causing more consistent disruption to peer to peer traffic.
