There was no actual evidence of Comcast’s use of Sandvine… and despite their bald face lies to the contrary… they were using Sandvine to throttle traffic. Once evidence did appear, they admitted it… then said they stopped.
Also… Verizon is a very large company owned by stockholders. If stealing your kidneys hit the right side of the risk/reward equation you could expect to wake up in a bathtub full of ice.
Verizon blocks my access to Undernet IRC servers. They don’t admit to that either.
