hello Home Blog 2 minutes Comcast caught hijacking web traffic On November 20th , 2012 Comcast hijacked my HTTP traffic and re-routed it through their own servers , injecting a notice on the page before completing the request .

Why did they do all this To force a courtesy notice on every webpage I visit until I logged into my Comcast account because I was within 90 of my new 300GB limit In my testing I discovered that this only affects HTTP traffic and not HTTPS traffic .
