Heard the pandora part driving to school this morning, couldnt beleive they almost got shut down. Also, i think the comcast bandwidth limiting is a load of BS because they still run their lines over T1 copper (correct me if im wrong) and are simply starting to get bit for using obsolete technology. Plus with verizon and their fiber optic service on its way out, i have no idea how they plan to keep up but this could very well be the fall of a goliath that in my opinion has gained a fast monopoly on the inudstry.
