For those of us who are bandwith "hogs" and are tech savvy this is meaningless. With the right port forwarding settings in your router, this is easily worked around. The only people that will be affected are the ones who arent savvy enough to adjust said settings.

Are you counting yourself among "tech savvy" people? Current shaping tech is not defeated by merely changing ports. It also looks at protocol signatures in the packets, traffic patterns and other factors.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-18473817 Fri, 08 Jun 2007 18:18:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-18472432 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-18472432 Fri, 08 Jun 2007 14:19:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-18471742 said by Skippy25:

You may want to read what they said again. I was only mentioning that I have seen my own torrents beat up, whereas newsgroups remain smoking fast. So as far as I can tell, for my ISP, I guess they're differentiating between torrent traffic from other data, including newsgroups.

You may want to read what they said again. From the above it looks like they have implemented it on applications that are audio, video, and VOIP. In addition, they have left it open to anything else they may want to do it to.

Sounds like a net neturality issue to me.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-18471541 Fri, 08 Jun 2007 12:01:54 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Interesting-18470653
Packet shaping among my ISP has often been a hush hush kind of thing where they will neither deny nor confirm its usage as a whole or in any one particular area. Thankfully, the shaping has been limited to torrents thus far, and newsgroups have been unaffected.

So props to TWC on the customer heads up, but still a big gong to the technology as a whole :p
