Now those MOTHER FUCKERS are blocking outgoing
access to myLive365 broadcast account. If I try to connect directly,
Studio365 Live will tell me it cannot connect, but if I
connect through an open Socks 5 proxy server, I get
through with no problem.
Unfortunately Comcast is the ONLY option I have for
Internet where I live. I cannot use dial-up, because the
computers I have did not even COME with modems and
most computers today do not come with modems anymore,
and the computer stores around here do not CARRY modems in
stock anymore. I cannot get DSL, becuase of the loop distance,
unless I want to pay in excess of $100 plus a month for
business-level service, so I am just stuck with having to use
someone's misconfigured Socks 5 proxy server when I want
to broadcast. Geez, this really ROYALLY PISSES ME
**OFF**!!! As it is, I have to cut the bitrate down to 32K,
from 64K, to guarantee that I can broadcast with most Socks
proxy servers out there.

Get a Business account if you want to broadcast. You're not supposed
to be doing that on a Residential account anyway. I'm sure your
neighbors appreciate Comcast's efforts to block you so that they have
a chance to enjoy their service, too. By the way, since you have
access to the Internet, I assume you have access to online stores such
a Newegg. They have truckloads of modems at low prices, so go ahead
and switch to dial-up if that meets your needs better.

It appears that it just might have been a DNS problem, beucase
I can suddenly connect again. Why does Comcast have so
many problems with their DNS servers?

One other thing to note is there are are other Comcast
customers doing internet radio sucking down a lot more
bandwidth than me. One well-konw right wing online
talk show host has several cable modems tied together
in his apartment in New Jersey, and has a total of 26
megabits downstream and 7 megabits upstream. He
streams directly from his cable modem, gobbling down
as much as 2 megabits at a time of outgoing feed when
his station is on the air, and Comcast, in New Jersey,
does not seem to have a problem with hm doing this.
And on a residential account this guy is gobbling down
2 megabits average, sometimes as much as 5 megabits
at a time of upstream feed, when his station is on the air.
He once admitted that quite some time ago on his web
site that he does that. When he gets denial of service
attacks, which he often does, his outgoing feed reaches
the full 7 megabits, and Comcast never says anything
to him.
Not only that, the guys station runs 24 hours a day,
streaming music when none of the talk shows are on,
so he streaming through his outgoing cable modem
feed 24 hours a day, and Comcast does not seem
to have any problems with him doing this.

So you are saying that because he does it must be okay for you to do
it? If he also robs banks to make ends meet, is that okay for you to
do to? Just because he does it, does not make it legal! People drive
90 miles an hour down the hiway,that is not legal either, but peope do
it all the time. Do what you wish to do, just don't tell the cops when
you get busted, that you did it because he did it.
