Re: Teksavvy's throttling now?

said by GKC See Profile :

I don't know how many times I've seen posts by Rocky and Rick assuring their subscriber's that TekSavvy does not throttle, and that, TekSavvy does not believe in throttling, and, yet, the message still isn't across that TekSavvy does not throttle. Wake up and smell the coffee, people, or we'll throw you all into the darkness for one hour on March 29 between the hours of 8-9 p.m. for Earth Hour to think about it.
It's easier for people to blame the ISP instead of themselves.

Bee Beep, try this torrent, it should either max out or get close to your max download speed: »releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ubuntu-···.torrent

Remember when Bell first start throttling and most people say there is no such thing happening? Calling people lier? Posting stat to show off how good the downloading is?
If everyone says they're not being throttled and the owners/employees says there is none, you better believe it.

okay 2 things
like rocky said there is no throottling and i am running utorrent make sure ur ports are open drop the upload speed down so your download can get through and it really depends on the torrent. like torrents can be slow since there are more leechers than seeds enuf said like a popular linux iso with 1000 seeds and like 200 leechers will be better than something with like 5000 seeds and 8000 leechers the more seeds than leechers the faster

it depends on the torrent mainly is what i mean and i've been online almost all weekened no probs here.

AFAIK Bell doesn't have the technology to throttle like that.
Even if Bell had the equipment, they probably would not have the legal clearance to actively interfere with wholesale traffic.

As you said in the rest of your post, Bell is most likely experiencing local link or equipment overload. Me and a few others in the Anjou and St-Leonard areas have encountered somewhat lousy speeds during peak hours over the last few weeks or months. In my case, line stats certainly are not to blame with 4dB up / 10dB down attenuation and 26dB down SNRM. Everything was great for the first two weeks from activation but it has been slowly going downhill with no change in line stats.

While downloading torrents, the highest I can push my upload before the whole thing starts falling apart is around 45KB/s. This is at least 20KB/s short of what I was expecting from a 800kbps sync.

The mighty Rocky's answer:
We do not throttle.
We do not throttle.
We do not throttle.
We do not throttle.
We do not throttle.
We do not throttle.
We do not throttle.
We do not throttle.
We do not throttle.
We do not throttle.
We do not throttle.
We do not throttle.
We do not throttle.

I think it's clear enough

Thanks for all the inputs. I do believe there is more than one reason that my BT download is max out @ 30k while speed test and direct download go to 100k+. Hope that I can work with Teksavvy to solve my problem soon. Thanks again.

If you've said something that irritated the network guru(s), then it is possible that guru would have added some router filters that affect just you. (and of course, the owners wouldn't know about this).

The best bet is for you to write a public apology to the network gurus at Teksavvy, and then send half a dozen bananas as well as 2 dozen timbits via FedEx to the Teksavvy barn in Chatham, and then pray that they remove the filter that applies just for you.

(Make sure the courrier company you use delivers to the small farming community of Chatham in reasonable time, if Teksavvy ends up getting a box full of decomposing bananas mixed with moss-covered timbits, they may get even more mad at you and lower your speeds even further

Seriously though:

Have you tried »speedtest.teksavvy.com ?

I usually DL this to test re: torrents, as it seems to be always well seeded and gives me my max DL.

»distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/

Maybe you can test it as well?

Yes, I'm in the same situation as you (Anjou). After 4PM the best download speed I can get is 600kbit. In the mornings it is 4.4megabit. It's been 2 months since I'm waiting for the ticket that TSI opened with Bell to come to a resolution.

Do you guys have any garantee from your transit providers that they do not throttle certain protocols ? Would such garantees apply to all transit providers, or are there now precedents where some transit providers reserve the right to throttle ?

Transit providers are just that, transit. They take each packets and transport them equally.
