Throttling My ASS!!

I'm downloading 2 movies and a game right now!
the movies are at 195 kb/s and 330 kb/s

the game is lacking tho… only 26 kb/s :(

Is this what rogers calls throttling my bit torrent traffic, because I detect no signs of this at all in any of my downloads.

I switched over to ElectronicBox here in Quebec about a year ago… unlimited up/down and rock-steady service. About the same price you pay Bell or Rogers, but its extremely reliable, affordable, and the quality is more than anyone in the QC-Ontario region can ask for.

Sense when is it legal for a company to try and prob encrypted data and violate the Americans right of privacy. At the same time why don’t I hear anyone suing over this. (It would be highly unAmerican not to)

Nothing surprises me about Rogers , they are the sleaziest of all the media providers (although the others do try). They have thrown tons of garbage into their advertising knowing that they will quietly step on those who actually try to get the full advertised service. It’s not only cable , cell phones are locked, $50 service charge just to swap the GMS chip to a new phone , even the lowly cockroach must be envious. They will state that you can pay for unlimited e-mail data transfer but look closely at the asterisk and there is a limit.

I’d switch but I figure that the others will just continue to follow the huge dung path left by Rogers and I’d have gone to the trouble for nothing. :-(

They’re not trying to break or otherwise reverse-engineer the BitTorrent encryption mechanics. All they’re doing is identifying it, and then throttling the bandwidth of the customer that’s using it. Nothing about that is prohibited by the DMCA.

Too bad that there is nothing in the DMCA to use that the people who created the encryption in the bittorrent couldnt go after companies that are bypassing it. Sort of like the DRM in movies and songs. They could go after ISPs and other companies that are bypassing the encryption and sue them as they are suing others. Dont know if anything exists or not.

I’ve been doing some more research, and it looks like there are a number of smaller ISPs that we can use, at least in Toronto. They’re all just subcontracting Bell for the data lines, but at lease they’ll promise not to block my shit.
