San Francisco - Following reports that broadband providers Comcast (NASD: CMCSA) and Cox have been interfering with their subscribers' peer-to-peer traffic, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) on Wednesday released tools for Internet users that can be used to test for "packet forgery" or other ISP interference on their connections. "Comcast is discriminating among different kinds of Internet traffic based on the protocols being used by its customers," said EFF senior intellectual property attorney Fred von Lohmann. "When confronted, Comcast has been evasive and misleading in its responses, so we decided to start gathering the facts ourselves."
