Re: Comcast is using Sandvine to manage P2P Connections

Comcast reports that they are not affecting downloads in any way. (Perhaps foolishly,) I tend to believe that is true.

Since you changed ISPs, are you sure that your upload speed is adjusted correctly?

If you have the 6 Mbps tier, your upload speed limit should be set to 38 KB/s or less. If you have more than one P2P client in the house, divide that 38 KB/s between them.

If that helps, it is because we have prevented P2P from causing packets to be lost or dropped on the upload side. When the upload path is bottlenecked, then downloading slows. That setting will keep P2P from overwhelming your most likely bottleneck -- the cablemodem.

from what I've been told, it should still be 10/1.

I'm not familiar with that tier, but Comcast does buy other companies and sometimes keeps their tiers the same until the rest of the network catches up.

Take a speed test -- I recommend the Java-based speed tests here at dslreports.com.

1. Note the upload test results, in Kbps (example 890 Kbps).
2. Drop the final digit from that result to convert to the approximately correct upload speed limit setting (example 890 Kbps becomes 89 kB/s)
3. Input that number into your P2P software as the upload speed limit. If you use more than one P2P client, then divide that number between them.

Then -- restart your client. If it's BitTorrent, wait 20 minutes before looking at your speed (it takes a while for the protocol to match you with the best peers in the swarm).

HTH.
