A year ago it was informed Comcast sabotages the network by delivering false reset packets into the connection stream, which made bittorrent impossible to occur. At 31 June 2008 Elektronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) published a tool to diagnose the network, to detect this behavior yourselves. Informing Federal Communications Commissie (FCC) would be to weak to find it theirselves. This tool is called Switzerland because of the principles of Switzerland and is free to use.

The tool is ’still’ a command line, thus is expected only more advanced users will use the program for now. The source is public, thus a interface made be released by a third party a day.

At any case, the FCC did not handed over a fine to Comcast, but in they need to take some measurements, which take happily take on. This closes the case around Comcast sabotaging the network. (Comcast, for those who are unfamiliar, is a huge internet provider in the United States of America)
