| packet shapers
Um, yeah, they are using packet shapers. About a month after I started using a bittorrent client things started acting slow.
Now, when I first connect, I get really fast speeds, then, about 10-20 seconds later, it grinds to a halt. I ran tracert to find the closest hop to their network, then ran ping -t to that IP address and then started up my browser. Sure enough, everything was A-OK until the browser was and loading a video on Youtube. (and you can shut the hell up about Youtube. It's just used as an example. This happens whenever there is a load put on the line) After the standard 10-20 seconds everything got fucked and I saw the pings go from 1-15 ms to anywhere from 1700 ms to 3300 ms with the rare and temporary dip to 300 ms.
So you can sit there and say they aren't using packet shapers, but you're full of shit. | |

1 edit | What you just explained happenes whenever you put a huge load on a connection (AKA downloading youtube videos, torrents, and whatnot), your ping will rocket during the transfer, this is not network shapeing, but network congestion.
And to cover this before someone trys to correct me, even through you can watch stuff on youtube almost right away, you are not streaming it, but essentially Watching it while it downloads, which will take alot of your bandwidth untill it is done downloading | |
