Comcast Corp.

A class action lawsuit has been filed against the high speed Internet provider company alleging false advertising related to the speed of its Internet service. The lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia and alleges Comcast does not have the "fastest Internet connection" as it advertises because it intentionally blocks or impedes customer's access to peer-to-peer file sharing.

The class action claims Comcast manages the flow of Internet traffic as peer-to-peer files often take up a lot of bandwidth that can slow down networks during peak times. The complaint alleges Comcast sends forged "reset packets" telling the transmitting computers attempting to share files to stop sending data. The Federal Communications Commission is currently investigating Comcast's traffic management actions and Comcast's response shows that the company realizes that its network isn't always capable of living up to customers' expectations.
