Starting this Thursday, Comcast says it will start testing what they are calling a "protocol agnostic" approach to managing traffic during high-peak periods. If you are downloading large files, watching lots of videos or downloading just about any new game off of Steam, your bandwidth will be throttled back.
"At the busiest times of the day on our network (which could occur at any time), those very few disproportionately heavy users, who are doing things like conducting numerous or continuous large file transfers, may experience slightly longer response times for some online activities, until the period of network congestion ends."
