We need to see something uploading at that speed. |

| Yeah, which means I need a connection other than comcast.
If you or anyone else has a suggestion on how I might get that, then I am all ears.
I don't need an upload at my paid-for server speed. I just need something better than 17 Kbps from Comcast.
The .avi clearly shows the throttling, the higher speed connection and the down grading over time.
The hosting service will be providing the affidavit regarding the bandwidth for the law suit. |

There are several companies that sell VPN services. Most are marketed to travelers who frequently use hotspots in public places. One is called www.hotspotvpn.com -- which I only mention because it comes up first in Google when I search on those two terms. You might also search the terms anonymous VPN -- since Comcast et. al. has declared war on some of its users, such services have become popular.
If Comcast is having undue influence on FTP uploads, a VPN will keep them from being able to detect the protocol you are using.
I would also like to suggest that you hit the "hey mods" button and perhaps get this Topic broken out for some additional opinions. I looked at your recording and I can't explain what I'm seeing. It's not PowerBoost (that would stay high for a while, then drop abruptly -- your speed slows very gradually by comparison. It isn't related to abuse/limits/caps. By sticking it in here, I'm afraid that you're limiting its exposure and people who could help are not seeing it.
