Both Bell Canada (Sympatico) and Rogers cable are throttling bigtime. There is talk of legislating them to stop, and there was a fair size protest in Ottawa last weekend about the unfairness of invasion on net neutrality.

You can sign a petition at a website about net neurtrality for Canadian isp’s but I forget the url. Google will find it easy enough.

I believe Virgin Media here in the UK does it, too. They have a throttling policy for times between 16:00-02:00 in general but for torrents it kicks in throughout the entire day.

BitTorrent Throttling ISPs Exposed by Azureus | TorrentFreak…

comcast…

Ok so EVERYONE complains about comcast, but why?

Ive had comcast since i moved into my new house (2.5 years ago) and haven’t had any problems.

I am paying for a 4meg connection and when I open it up to full with no limits, it goes as high as 6megs (with no disconnects).

I am honestly not seeing this throttling and considering I have downloaded 400gigs worth of content in the past 4 months: I don’t see where it is coming from.

Enlighten me please…

I get 10% resets during download (nominal) and around 50% when seeding….so median is definitely not right in my case.

I’m on the worst of the comcast side, as well aka Chicago suburb.

They have a million excuses too: “oh, its the weather” is a favorite, sometimes 3-4x in the same week after a tech comes.

I use Be Unlimited (Avatar Broadband) in the uk. Ranked at 13.19%. I long suspected they were doing this and now I know! There is a solution. Use the Relakks encrypted network. If you find that you get 10x the speed through an encrypted network as I do, its pretty clear your ISP is interfering. Not only that, but its cheap and available monthly so you can just try it and see! Best $5 I ever spent.

Three words: Usenet with SSL.

I’d finally had it with the lack of seeds on public trackers and you’d probably have a better chance at winning the lottery than getting into any decent private trackers (i.e. blackcats games). Plus, even if you do get into a decent private tracker you still have to worry about dumbass ratios.

I’ve noticed more and more private trackers asking for “donations” and it wouldn’t suprise me if private trackers start charging some kind of monthly fee for access.

I was finally fed up and signed on with Giganews. Now, I download at 100% of my available speed, NO UPLOADING, no ratios, and no bullshit. Why donate to a tracker when you can sign on with Usenet? And I don’t know about you, but I’ve never heard of anyone getting busted on Usenet. The decision is pretty simple for me.

The only disadvantage I can see that Usenet has over BitTorrent is that binary files only stay on the servers for 200 days. But even then if you can’t find what you want (which is rare for me) post a request and usually within a day it magically appears.

Giganews has SSL too so you don’t have to worry about anyone snooping on your traffic and trying to throttle you.

Yes folks, there is a better way. It’s called Usenet.

Usenet for life FTW!!!!!

Damn Canadian ISPs. Bell, Rogers, Cogeco, Shaw, Videotron, Telus, even the universities… They’re all doing it. Every single last one of them.

Fuck ‘em all. (And my university U of T is throttling YouTube too.)

Bell Canada not only throttled it’s own ISP traffic, but because of our dumb government, the telecommunication infrastructure that the tax payers paid for was given to Bell Canada to control, and now they are abusing that right by throttling the traffic of all DSL competition. Basically, it’s an anti-competitive move by Bell Canada and hopefully they get spanked hard by the Canadian government and lose their rights to control those lines.

Yep, like that though as a standalone client & server application set that anyone could run to/from anyplace and run tests across many different protocols, including P2P, VOIP, encrypted streams, streaming media, and so on.

I’m too dumb to code myself, so…

TMnet in Malaysia certainly throttles P2P traffic.
Anyway they have no competition…

[quote comment="355155"]I’m a bit sceptical of the usefulness of this test. I think what’s really needed is for someone to knock together something akin to a client/server package able to initiate transfer tests using many different protocols and ports. Then you could run straight comparisson tests to reveal protocol biasing, including the more-common bandwidth limiting.

Monitoring for resets isn’t a very good way of doing things at all.[/quote]

while i know that att/nee’ bellsouth throttles me, i don’t think it’s vindictive. they have simply oversold the service. same situation as calling on mother’s day using a land line. what is unfair is the application: usuallly they choke only downloads, but sometimes only uploads. and then there are times bit torrent is no go, but rapidshare is just fine. this tells me the throttle isn’t automated.

The test may be correct but people shouldn’t draw the wrong conclusions from it. This doesn’t say anything about what speed you can get from downloading or uploading.
