Free Press and Public Knowledge file this complaint regarding Comcast's practices of
secretly degrading applications on its broadband network. Comcast, the nation's number two
provider of high-speed Internet access, is blatantly violating the FCC's Internet Policy Statement
by degrading a range of peer-to-peer applications. Comcast has also engaged in deceptive
practices and continues to do so. It falsely denied degrading peer-to-peer applications and now
continues to degrade applications without informing users and while advertising access to the
"Internet." The FCC should immediately enjoin this discrimination and impose forfeitures on
Comcast.
I. Facts
Comcast is secretly degrading peer-to-peer protocols, threatening to undermine the
Internet's open and interconnected character, discourage broadband use, and crippling the
innovation the Internet has made possible.
