Re: [TWC] TW Officially Announces Packet Shaping for All RR User

I dont use torrent or anything like that, I really prefer the origional/physical product (in packaging), don't ask why? I just use my premium (15/768) for general use, although that does include a lot of speed tests from multiple computers on my network to check effiency. The only problem I can see personally is I have a slingbox (obviously reliant on upload). The ports for it are well above the "standard" range, something crazy like 20 some thousand to help avoid "scans" to my otherwise "stealthed" network. As long as it doesn't affect my usage "profile", I think it's probably a good idea & sounds proactive given some peoples bad speeds during peak hours (which I've never experienced).

I'm rock solid even during peak, so as long as I test @ 15/768 during that time (if implimented here in Cincinnati), I think it's a good idea (even though you P2P users will hate me).

As bad as packeting shapeing is I much rather have it for peak hours of the day than an bandwidth cap. I am a night person so the packet shaping doesnt really effect me. :P
