"If there was competition, could you slow down your best customers?"
ANY business person can tell you that not all business is good. These aren't Comcast's best customers, they use the most resources, without any additional gain for the business.
In Comcast's eyes, the best customers are the ones who check a little email and do some light browsing.
The next logical step for Comcast will be usage tiers.

"Asked why Comcast doesn't slow all users' traffic during times of congestion, Douglas said it's not fair to subscribers who aren't clogging up the pipes."
HA!

Oh, the deceptions...
First Comcast wasnt "...slowing" P2P during heavy congestion... They were fraudulently terminating those connections (with forged reset-packets). And, they (Comcast) were shown to, in reality, be doing this 24/7. And, actually, they were also, basically, doing it completely indiscriminately.
Furthermore, Comcast, flat-out, lied about their actions when they were caught. Then they lied before the FCC, and they are, very-publicly, still lying about this whole episode.
...Which leads us to this latest fraud.
Frankly, I think, Comcast is, still, trying to (retroactively) make their earlier actions appear to simply be some sort of -legitimate- form of "traffic-management" attempt (which it, clearly, was NOT).
And, it is also quite clear that Comcast is continuing to steam-roll forward with their, unfair, deceptive, anti-consumer, control-imposition practices.
Honestly, if there were, any, real-competition... or, actual restraint being applied to such nefarious corporate-actions... what-so-ever... they would never be able to get-away with this sort of abuse.
...Sound like any other large corporation that, after being repeatedly found to have hurt consumers... and engaged in unfair business-practices... was then let-off with a slap-on-the-wrist... to continue doing, exactly, what they always intended to do..?
