The company admits that Bittorent users congest the cable bandwidth thereby slowing everyone else's speed! If that's the case, why is Comcast advertising that their service is "speedy"? All Comcast's "Speedboost" feature does is compress the first megs of the data then sends it speedily off. But what if the person is online for "hours"???? What a joke! Don't want to pitch for any company but... Verizon's Fios service is MUCH better and faster than Comcast's service! Verizon's Fios service also does NOT limit the speed! Woo-Hoo!

Instead of throttling individual ports related to torrents, as soon as they detect you're accessing a torrent they THROTTLE YOUR SUBNET and everything behind it. Once I did the test, I was only able to download at 10KB until 12AM, EST. So Hughes will let your torrents through without shaping them, but will then flag your ENTIRE connection! They should be added to the list. Also, the azureus bad ISPs wiki entry for direcpc.com is totally wrong: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs#United_States_of_America HughesNet has NO real flatrate, LIMITS bandwidth during certain times of the day. LIMITS bandwidth for accounts with a high traffic volume, and should have a proposed encryption level of 3+ (as soon as they see a classic BT port being used, they will throttle everything on your subnet, not just torrents.)

It does so by measuring the difference between your regular download speed and your BitTorrent download speed, testing against different ports and other variables to get a better idea of what exactly is being throttled. The tool is aggregating the results of the test, which the site is publishing to encourage greater transparency among ISPs.
