I cannot access relevant pages on www.comcast.com due to me not being in 
the US (or rather, they require an address first), could anyone please 
paste or other way supply the wording/text they use in their fineprint, to 
allow them contractually to disrupt customer TCP session in other way than 
delaying or dropping the packets (which I guess is accepted industry 
standard).

Sending/spoofing RST on certain customer TCP sessions doesn't qualify as 
normal network behaviour in my mind, so would be interesting to hear how 
they word it legally.
