How did Comcast act illegally? Well you might already know the answer to that, as you might have suffered too. In case you were heavily downloading stuff with BitTorrent, Comcast slowed your transmission down for sure. All that for the sake of the whole network. But is it ok to do so? Well the FCC says Comcast acted illegally, so no, it’s not ok!

With the needed three out of five votes, the FCC commission has ruled against Comcast. The FCC isn’t supporting peer-to-peer downloads especially as most of those are illegal downloads too. But the FCC didn’t like Comcast’s lack of disclosure on their actions.

There’s no fine for Comcast just yet, but this move it’s certainly meant to stop any similar acts from any Comcast competitors.
