*sigh* Don't want to sound like an apologist for Rogers (since I dislike throttling just as much as the next person) but really hate the fact that people can't see the bigger picture of why they have to throttle (money+network inabilitiy to cope with what users are doing to it; AKA flooding the upstream).
And yes, the EUA protects Rogers so they can ensure the other 99% of users get a better service opposed to letting the P2P users abuse all the bandwith. Last night I got a file off downloads.com at near 760 kb/s...so throttling can't be all that bad if it's ensuring I can get my files as fast as possible.
Again, don't want to sound like an apologist for them, but can see where they're coming from.
Hey Bender ... the problem isn't the throttling ... if BT speeds down dropped from say 5Mbps to 2.5Mbps or even 1Mbps, people wouldn't be screaming so loud, but the current throttling is reducing download speeds to DIALUP speeds or less!
Do they really need to throttle P2P *that* much? I doubt it.
