3 edits | VPN beats throttling! :))))
How can ISP do that, legally? It's a VPN service. Also, you can get the same results via any VPN service. We have just busted ISP throttling. I tried it and am getting dang close to my 6000/800 speeds. Poney up the $ for a pay VPN service if SecureIX goes down and you are in a throttle free zone anyways. Say bye bye to Cisco P-Cubes! 
In the mean time, thank you SecureIX for showing us the way!!!  |

Rogers owns that network and do with it what they choose. If for some reason you don't like it you are free to choose someone else to provide your service to you.
So yes WAY....they can do what they want. |

Give your head a shake. You know how many VPN's servers there are, around the WORLD? Ya think Ted would be in a little bit of trouble shaking 'em all down when we all go to VPN to beat throttling? He can't shut down access to all legit services! Really now....  |

No way... Suddenlink in my area hamfistedly throttles ALL traffic, not just P2P, once you go over so many MBs in so many minutes, whether you're viewing large images, streaming video, downloading a single file via http, running torrents or anything. So don't believe for a second that other ISPs won't do the same if they can't get a handle on the bandwidth consumed by P2P apps alone.

Now, this may take away most of their business but don't think they wouldn't do it given this is Rogers we're talking about. |
