Re: What's the point of getting around traffic shaping? I am not sure it is about discrimination, it is more about prioritization. Many different ISPs have different solutions to increase overall download and upload bandwidth performance.
What is the problem with waiting a little longer for a non-important music file or linux image and allowing other usage like VOIP and http traffic to operate better? It is more to suit the masses, not the minority. The alternative is higher prices for the package you purchase so the ISP does not lose money on there overall backbones to the net. Plus, more customers happy a very very small portion a little more sad. |

Depends on the providers network. If there is enough of the latter the former could be basically snubbed out.
The problem is that BT and other forms of P2P are exposing the inherent flaw in the all you can eat model when there are two vastly different sets of customers.

The only problem that I have with that, is: what is to say that my wanting to download an mp3 file, linux image, game patch, or video feed is not as important or of less priority than someone else's http surfing?
VOIP is a priority service, however, and I do agree somewhat with making sure that it has supreme quality. |

It's not even like they're putting a lower QOS on the bittorrent packets. They're downright throttling them down to nothing. If they put a lower QOS on them then it'd still work farily fast unless their network was overloaded with higher priority traffic. |
