Comcast Class Action Suit Over Filesharing

After the AP proved that Comcast was actively delaying peer to peer file sharing, like using software clients such as BitTorrent, a group of consumers and legal experts asked the FCC to fine the broadband provider almost $200,000 for each subscriber affected. Now we have a class action suit filed today in San Francisco. The news just keeps getting worse for cable ISP's, after it was earlier shown that Comcast has cut off paying customers for being bandwidth hogs, and Cox has sent warning letters to these subscribers. And with regulator seeking to end cable's monopolostic practices in apartment buildings and condos, along with the customer service nightmare stories, this is just more bad news for the industry.

Update: More piling on Comcast - Vuze, an online video content provider, which distributes its media using bittorrent technology, has filed its own complaint with the FCC. The Vuze bittorrent client was formerly known as Azureus, which is a major competitor with BitTorrent and μTorrent. Presumably, BitTorrent will soon seek action or comment from the FCC as well.
