Re: Comcast is using Sandvine to manage P2P Connections 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.
