More than two years after<\/a> information about Comcast’s data delaying techniques<\/a> came to light, a class action lawsuit over the issue has come to a close with a settlement of $16 million and no statement of wrongdoing from the cable giant. That means Comcast continues to tout its newer bandwidth management protocols and those of you that used Ares, BitTorrent, eDonkey, FastTrack or Gnutella betwen April ‘06 and December ‘08 and\/or Lotus Notes on the service anytime in the summer of 2007 can head over to the settlement website to either opt out of the class action or receive a $16 check. So is that enough cash to make up for the time wasted waiting for Naruto <\/i>fansubs, Gutsy Gibbon images and the like to finish downloading?<\/p>\n
