Ok, it did start-up much quicker when I just did it. So I guess Comcast isn't shaping anymore than things like Netflix.
I just don't remember it taking so long even w/ a fresh download of TBB. I'll try to remember to try it out on a couple evenings this coming week and see how it works. Once I was on, it felt a little slow but I think it has also been a while since I've used tor during the 6pm-10pm weekday timeframe. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -ITG (ITechGeek) i...@itechgeek.com https://itg.nu/ GPG Keys: https://itg.nu/contact/gpg-key Preferred GPG Key: Fingerprint: AB46B7E363DA7E04ABFA57852AA9910A DCB1191A Google Voice: +1-703-493-0128 / Twitter: ITechGeek / Facebook: http://fb.me/Jbwa.Net On Sat, Sep 20, 2014 at 9:34 AM, Katya Titov <katti...@yandex.com> wrote: > ITechGeek: > > I would just like to chime in as a Comcast customer, tonight was the > > first time I've tried hopping on tor browser since this rumor > > surfaced and traditionally when I launch the tor browser I see tor > > connect and I'm on. > > > > Tonight it took a couple minutes before I was able to connect (I was > > able to search for this thread, catch up on every message since the > > 14th, and read Comcast's notice and the comments before tor was > > connected-Not sure if tor has ever taken that long to connect). > > > > This could just be something going on tonight or Comcast could be > > doing traffic shaping and this would be another Comcast will deny all > > interference with traffic until someone proves otherwise. > > I have a TBB installation that I only use every few weeks.
