More Proof of Cable Bandwidth Twiddling

I would appreciate some information on just how F%$#ed up the cable broadband providers networks are, because we now have the results of a study on BitTorrent blocking, and it's only the cable providers doing it, and they (Comcast, Cox, and Starhub, a cable/internet provider in Singapore)are doing it regardless of network load, and they are the only ISPs to do this in the world.

A brief technical rundown why the cable network architectures providers' suck is here.

Basically, the technology is not there, but instead of being open with their customers regarding limits, they are engaging in stealth filtering, and not particularly good stealth filtering at that.

I'm surprised, given the sterling reputation for customer service of the cable companies.
