Is Comcast Squeezing Skype?
January 21, 2009
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is investigating Comcast over allegations that its network management practices are degrading the quality of third-party VoIP providers (such as Skype or Vonage) while leaving Comcast’s own voice service untouched.
This is the scenario that advocates of “network neutrality” have warned about.
For its part, a Comcast spokesperson is quoted as saying that the company is complying with FCC regulations.

I personally used Lingo on Comcast network acquired by Patmedia
last summer and since the service has changed in a few ways: - call
connection time required increased 5x from 1 second to 5 second or
more average. - calling in to phone number supporting select #
menu, the #s selected will not go through. This is unacceptable
Comcast customers pay for bandwidth service not a we tell you how
to use it service. Additionally even the latency time has went from
mid 100s to 500 average with online games. FCC please step up and
do something here. Just my opinion from NJ market.
