[nmglug] Hello all, looking for internet service provider in Albuquerque

[Eric Krieger]

As much as I don't agree with Comcast secretive policies (i.e. bandwidth
shaping, unspoken utilization caps,etc) I would would go with them. I
think much of what we are seeing from Comcast now is an effort to get
ahead of coming bandwidth increase....

...having a bunch of p2p clients with access to 160Mbps network, when
you also need it for there HD content services, could bring a network to
it's knees.
