Did future-you subscribe to the Comcast VPN Access package? I think it's only an extra $25/mo, and they let you choose from 20 vetted VPN providers. /s

  You can always VPN to a box you control over port 443 (the same as https). Sucks that you have to do that, but it's very easy to set up. I guess you could theoretically eventually get them using the same stuff China uses to block VPNs via more advanced heuristics, though.

    And what is to stop them from traffic shaping it? China's firewall demonstrates this stuff is very detectable.

      And it can be defeated with an Android app, so I'm not so sure Comcast can win that rat-race.

        It is so fricking trivial to implement. Slow down everything. Whitelist the IPs of paying parties. Done.

      Did you not notice that I said exactly that in the second half of my comment?
