It happens that Franciscan Skemp, a large hospital System here where I live considers my content (myspew.com) an adult only website.
To prove a point I browsed to several porn sites, and then called their IT department.
They did appologize, told me to fill out a form, but my intention was only to find out what filtering systems they utilize. I can only wonder where else the spew may fail.
Comcast compresses three HD television channels into two - FiOS and Comcast comparisons
31 March, 2008 18:36
It appears Comcast is working black magic on HD television media. If you thought you were receiving true HD, think again, as Comcast is compressing three HD channels into two HD streams. Bandwidth and television quality examples are shown after this post in relation to Comcast's delivered services:
"A public FCC hearing was held to discuss the accusations that Comcast
was limiting bandwidth to file sharing peer to peer networks such as
Bittorrent.
Documentation has arisen that Comcast has been sending reset packets to peers using these types of services.
It is claimed null personalities were paid to fill the seats of the
FCC hearing, shutting out other interested parties and to applaud
Comcast's positive remarks.
As recorded, one person admitted to this claim, and the response was: needed room for company executives.
Even National Public Radio (NPR) was having difficulty attending the
hearing, amongst many other concerned citizens outside the walls of the
room.
At the bottom of this post is audio with interviews of random
attendees of the Comcast FCC hearing. The source for this audio

"The greatest differences are seen with movement. With slow movement on
Comcast, the first thing you notice is added noise and a softer image,
as fine detail is filtered from the picture signal. The greater the
rate of movement, the more detail you lose and the more noise you see.
With intense movement, you see more blocking and skipped frames. In
VideoRedo, I noticed that a number of frames in the FiOS signal simply
did not exist in the Comcast signal during motion intensive scenes.
This may be responsible for the stutter and excessive motion blur seen
with some video sequences on Comcast.
To Comcast's credit, I saw little to no difference on movie
channels such as HBO, Cinemax, and Starz. I did see some blurring and
reduced detail during fast movement on Starz, but the recordings from
Cinemax and HBO were virtually identical, even on action movies such as
300 and Gladiator. When there was blocking on the Comcast feed of
Cinemax, that blocking was also on the FiOS feed." -- [user on AVSforum]
