This is not a proper response. During rush hour do you see police pulling over people and making them wait 20mins to go to home/work? No, if traffic is real bad they improve the roads. If Comcast is unable to deliver the speeds they advertise then either advertise more realistic speeds or build a better infrastructure. In reply to: "Comcast to throttle some customers' Web speeds"

Basing your entire opinion on one stream (which is what you did from what you wrote) is rather dubious. You've censored yourself by only watching such a small part of something to form your opinion on.
But I digress. Had you watched any other stream you would have gotten a more complete picture. I happened to watch a large selection of the streams from nbc. It's rather refreshing not being subjected to people endless drone on about trivial things while I'm watching something. As an experiment I watched the US vs. *** woman's soccer match online and simultaneously on USA. I could not stand to listen to the man and lady commentators. More and more it seems sports commentators are there just to provide background noise to the main show. The blog style commentating lends itself to being concise and to the point. It also allows one to watch several sports at once and still get the comments.
I particularly enjoyed the judo matches in part due to the commentator. The soccer guy was also notable.
I will agree with you though in my disappointment of nbc's total online experience of which beach volleyball, among many "prime time" sports, are completely absent. And even though it seems one is able to watch past soccer matches you aren't able to watch any other sport. I had been hoping to catch a few of the fencing matches that I had missed too.
