I remember people telling me that when I was on Comcast years ago. They would always send me a link to the FAQ that said that, yet there were no links _to_ that page on their web site. There was language in the AUP stating that as long as running the services didn't affect the quality of service of other customers, it was okay. That was back around the MediaOne to AT&T Broadband transition. I'm happily on DSL w/ Visi now.</plug> Nate
