Comcast slapped with net neutrality lawsuit

A San Francisco Comcast subscriber is suing Comcast,the US' No. 2 broadband carrier, for breach of contract and bad faith dealings, claiming Comcast is violating net neutrality principles by slowing or blocking broadband access to P2P fileshare sites.

The subscriber is asking the court to certify the matter as a class action suit on behalf of all Comcast subscribers.

Comcast has already been the subject of consumer complaints to the FCC regarding the carrier's alleged violation of net neutrality.
