bullshit! Australian Exetel throttles P2P traffic. I have regretted signing up for adsl2+ with them. Sync speed at 390 kB/s down and 75 kB/s up. Only getting 90/70. So stay away from them, they are robbers.

i have iinet adsl2+ running at–
40gig peak/40 gig off peak limits
speed is 2000KB/s down-100KB/s up

if 80 gig per month limit reached only download is shaped

they have never throttled my speed in 2 years with 2 torrent site running 24/7 plus p2p running 24/7

[quote comment="168863"][quote comment="858"]Why would ISPs throttle BT? Do you know how ISPs work here? Every extra byte is more money to them. There are NO unlimited plans for ADSL. You either pay for DLs over a monthly limit, or ALL DLs are throttled to 28/56k after a monthly limit.[/quote]

actually im in australia and i have an unlimited adsl account and i dont get throttled maybe you should check out http://www.shiftreload.com.au/quote
Bah! Their cheapest plan is $50 a month for the slowest 256k broadband. Soul is $30

Not true. Soul is a national ISP, has a true unlimited broadband plan, and quite cheap thx

australisit.net makes my cyber/torrent life alot easier. 40gig pm for $60 on a ADSL 1500/256. mate, you cant beat that price in Melbourne (the move liviable city in the world) as for the roll-out of uber-speed, all i can say is; The sooner it happens the faster we can move on with better things like a teleportational devide to get us all off this dying planet. =8Ãž excuse the typo.

You know, there is only one way of killing the internet companies ban on bit torrent. either tunnel, or better by far set a bunch of wide band networks with gigabit lines running between the neighborhoods and then the hell with the local cables modems. because of this, the big internet companies with lots of competition will not be doing this in the big city’s . And with the cost of big connection Technology’s dropping to the ground daily, It is a matter of time that the internet providers well will run dry if they do not comply with what the mass public wants. Consumer grade devises can give coverage to areas that are quite impressive. Canada could do the same. Just imagine a fellow setting up some cable (in this case cheap ass telephone cable that the local tele company is no longer using, or hell just buy your own bulk! and wire the whole neighborhood. if you burry the cable, GIGABIT BABY~!@
