this is really making me furious, i cant believe they've decided to throttle port 1720, isn't that the port for voip? are there any other ports we can use? |

Oh well back to BitComet with the header encryption for now... anyone know if i can get out of my 2 year contract because of this or the upcoming rate hike? Not to mention loss of newsgroups! |

I also experienced slow down in bt speed.. scarborough area.
btw how well does bitcomet's encryption help? |
|
| reply to TKI
not alot... before i knew about port 1720 i used to get maybe 30-50k/s (down from 200+ pre-trottling)... right now i'm only getting 10k/s but i only have 1 torrent going. I think it went best before with a bunch going the same time. It only works when the sender also has BitComet. |

Well as of this morning, my speeds have been bad on port 1720..using 3web (rogers). Yonge + Lawrence area. |
|
| My speeds are non-existant now. I was hoping it was an issue with my ports, but I guess those bastards have blocked the ports. I have no other alternative to Rogers in my area, so I really hope someone comes up with a way around it. |

My BT was still going pretty good b4 I went to bed last night. Today, it get down to below 5 kb/s. I guess ... they have really blocked up port 1720 for BT traffic.  |
|

Well seems the fun is over ... 1720 - 1755 not working for me either. 
Sheppard - Kennedy area |

I don't think it's just areas where they don't have VOIP subscribers - I'm at Danforth and Broadview and I'd be very surprised if there wasn't any VOIP in this area.
And, yes, my BTs suck huge today as well.
