Re: [Extreme] BT Throttling on Utorrent 1.6 has resumed recently Verizon is a Telephone company. Not a Cable company ... you're comparing apples and oranges. Throttling is done to ensure that your neighbourhood doesn't get bogged down.
Fios requires laying fibre to the home. We're a long way from that ... it's expensive at this time. |

| Throttling is done to ensure that your neighbourhood doesn't get bogged down...hahaha too bad.

| said by laggy20:Ha-Ha keep throttling till noone left. The trouble is that isn't going to happen. There are more than enough people who use Rogers for browsing and internet only that even without the P2P users, there will still be a huge client base. That's why they don't seem to care about throttling. They know that in the end, it won't hurt them. |

Looks like you may have a reason after all.

| This is bad...I upgraded to Extreme last night, when I first plugged in my modem I was getting consitent upload speeds of around 80K/sec which I was happy with.
About 2 hours later, my consistent speeds dont go over around 30K/sec now now matter what is done.
All tests such as speedcheck.rogers.com and speedtest.net do qualify that it is around 6Mbps down and 800kbps up, however that is definitely not the case.
My speeds were better on upload traffic on Express on the 72.* IP range than I am getting now.
Think I will be cancelling this crap service if this keeps up.....ARGH! |
