She did say they Quote: "Lock in your IP" ... which I am guessing means they may shut off the connection.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16717206 Wed, 16 Aug 2006 09:45:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16715564 crazyroach : what did she say when you asked about hitting the cap? I could be close this month. :o]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16715564 Tue, 15 Aug 2006 23:50:28 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16672729 utahluge : The cap is 100GB/month with MStar. I called in to ask about the cap and the lady wondered what the heck I was doing when I asked what happened if I were to hit the cap. ha I am getting my fiber installed tomorrow! Yeah!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16672729 Wed, 09 Aug 2006 10:05:10 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16584951 crazyroach : encryption works wonders!

The throttle was down to about 10kb/s total. It blew hard! No matter now.

As for a cap, no idea. As I can't even find a contract for them now. going to keep looking, dont want a suprise in the mail.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16584951 Thu, 27 Jul 2006 02:43:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16580747 brmasha : I have Xmission DSL and they do not throttle any of their customers including UTOPIA customers. Your monthly payment includes 100gig of transfer. If you want more you can purchase more. Xmission is top notch, you won't find a better ISP in Utah.

In addition, torrent encryption has been a very inadequate solution in my experience.

I am looking to switch to either xmission or at&t.. but I am unsure whether they throttle as well. Any ideas?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16566022 Mon, 24 Jul 2006 13:47:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16517435 cyberbeing : If you are talking about bittorrent try turning on encryption (Azureus or uTorrent) and see if that bypasses it. If that doesn't work try turning on lazy-bitfield as well. Also make sure you are using a port between 40000-65535 is you are not the standard BT ports. If that doesn't fix if you may be out of luck :huh:

How much are they throttling you? Does MstarMetro have caps?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16517435 Mon, 17 Jul 2006 14:12:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16503562 crazyroach : I signed up with Mstar in Utah as soon as it was available promised the moon and now its barely getting off the ground.

I used to get great speeds when running a BT then all of the sudden it dropped to nothing! So i called tech support only to be told that they are throttling p2p connections. Is this legal? I want my bandwidth back! Whats the use of having 15mb up and down if it is slower then if I was using dialup.

anyone have any ideas?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16503562 Sat, 15 Jul 2006 00:33:35 EDT
