My Time Warner salescritter admitted that they muck with the lines
when I asked him a few months ago if they were planning on introducing
filtering or packet shaping on the network.  He admitted to me that
they do packet shape the residential lines so that the business
customers maintain a constant QoS, but, aside from that, no other
filtering was being planned.

solving your own personal problems with heroin -- at first, it sorta
works, but after a while things just get out of hand.
