Bentonville, AR | Who said ISP's were "fart smellers"? You, this is really tantamount to putting a speed governor on your car which will not let you go faster than 20 MPH because you MIGHT...... SOMEDAY...... be going faster than 20 MPH....... IN A SCHOOL ZONE.... So, the solution is, you can never go faster than 20 MPH, EVER....... JUST IN CASE!
I can understand why the ISP's would throttle BT, it does use an enormous amount of BW, but are they not simply shooting the messenger?
Hopefully, for all of us, some day in the near future, ISP's will be forced to let us use the amount of BW we purchase for whatever we choose to. I doubt it will ever happen, but I hope it will. Failing that, we will face similar situations, time after time, forever.

| If ISP did not want us to use as much bandwidth as possible, they have to stop advertising unlimited bandwidth and start advertising limits.
We just need laws that force company's to be truthful in advertising.
Their new ads should then say, unlimited usage and 6mbps down except for Bit Torrent traffic in big bold letters and with a spoken voice (if tv) on every advertisment.
This way if people want bit torrent they will go with a different provider, if possible. |
