Beating Comcast's Sandvine On Linux With Iptables

Multiple sites reported a while ago that Comcast was using Sandvine to do tcp packet resets to throttle BitTorrent connections of their users. This practice may be a thing of the past as it’s been found a simple rule in the Linux firewall, iptables, can simply just block their reset packets, returning your BitTorrent back to normal speeds and allowing you to once again connect to all your seeds and peer. So, if you are tired of Sandvine (the application used by Comcast to throttle Bit Torrent with fake TCP packet resets) screwing with your BitTorrent and a user of GNU/Linux, then this is for you. I will tell you how to take your bandwidth back.

read more at the above link....... if you use comcast.... especially Wink

I now liver where Comcast was a choice and I said NO WAY!!! I went with Uverse instead. Not sure if it is better, but it is not Comcast.
