Maybe it goes something like this:
1. Customer got caught X time(s) under the "Six Strikes" policy.
2. Comcast starts monitoring customer more closely.
3. Customer starts torrenting over Tor.
4. Comcast (who is monitoring this person more closely) sees that large amounts of traffic is going over Tor.
5. Comcast tries to intimidate customer to stop using Tor.
6. ???
7. Profit?
I'm kind of iffy on the motivation for anything past #4 though, but it seems sort of plausible... maybe?
- MichaelGG 12y agoIf it's not a fabrication, it's more likely the customer was running a Tor exit node and that caused some problems and Comcast told him not to run an exit node. Which is somewhat reasonable, as it's a pain to deal with abuse complaints.
