An anonymous reader writes "A team of researchers have found that Comcast has quietly rolled out a new traffic-shaping method, which is interfering with web browsers in addition to p2p traffic. The smoking gun that documents this behavior are network traces collected from Comcast subscribers Internet connections. This evidence shows Comcast is forging packets and blocking connection attempts from web browsers. One has to hope this isn't the congestion management system they are touting as no longer targeting BitTorrent, which they are deploying in reaction to the recent FCC investigations."

  • Charlie Douglas here with Comcast's Corporate Communications Department. I can confirm that we have not made any shift in our network management policy yet and have not implemented the protocol agnostic approach that we announced two weeks ago. At that time, we said we would migrate to this new system before the end of the year. We are currently attempting to contact the PhD students and associate professors at the University of Colorado to better understand their analysis.
