That's funny, shortly after I made my comment I had a faint recollection of Comcast v. Cogent. I'm still not sure who to blame in that pissing match. Comcast is one of the most hated retail ISPs in the US while Cogent is one of the most hated bargain basement Tier 1.5 transit ISPs in the country. While I'd genuinely have a difficult time picking sides in such a fight I think that in the end, I'd have to side with Comcast, as much as I hate to say it. I'd love to hear from people more in the mix than me on the topic.
