things might be once you no longer trust the comms carrier.

Altering traffic to throttle high bandwidth applications is a far cry
from committing commerce and/or credit fraud.

Once you've found out that your letter carrier has been writing letters
to your family using your name, address and signature, what would
inspire your belief that he's not tampered with other, more important mail?

Nothing ... but it's still a felony and he'll still end up in jail.

I'm not saying that what Comcast is doing is right ... I use BT a lot
(on AT&T DSL) ... but what you are proposing is not only difficult (if
not impossible), it is probably quite illegal.
