Obviously not; Comcast is doing quite well despite their practices, FCC investigation aside. |

I to am being affected by the throttling (Toronto Area) that is going on, Today is the first day it has ever
happened to me and i got to tell u I am most displeased by it. I am hoping it some kind of screw up in the
bell network that this is happening.
quote:
simple solution guys. enable encryption in utorrent bypasses this throttling.
Have always had Enable Encryption on, Even change ports to which i was previous using but still suffer from
being throttled.
For the past ~5hrs i have been able to get no higher then whats in the screenshot below.

It also seems like some browsing is being slightly affected. In certain cases images are really lagging behind web pages.
Yes, I have noticed this too. Browsing seems really sluggish even though speed tests report normal rates and pings. |

Same here I'm also getting throttled to a max 30 kB/s in Scarborough. It had been throttling from 4 or 5 p.m to 2 or 3 a.m for 8 days now. |

I'm not being throttled at all. I experienced the Sympatico throttling (hence why I left) & haven't experienced this yet with Teksavvy. |

My ceiling appears to be around 150-180KB/s tonight - that's 20-30KB/s slower than yesterday's average. If this downwards trend continues, I will be joining the 30KB/s club in the near future. |

ERX and throttled correlation?
I'm in Scarborough on ERX01 with no throttling.
If you are being throttled, let us know what ERX you are on. |

Mississauga, This may be unrelated but yesterday night i lost my connection between ~1-2am before that though
i had never experienced any throttling could this be related?

Re: Teksavvy's throttling now? Just a vent, nothing is needed.
here's my point of view, not that is matters but still...
I understand Bell throttling torrent for sympatico or any wholesalers. I understand torrent is what nowadays costs the most bandwidth usage. don't deny it, it's true. even so, other applications can give a stable max out connexion, and they're not throttled. that's weird.
What's even more weird is the 30 KBps caps, that's 240 Kbps. Why not 150 KBps (1200 Kbps) ? that means Bell is not capable in certain areas to provide at some time of the day, more than 30KBps(+traffic used by others applications) to all DSLers in these particular areas? cmon Bell... that's nonsense... not everybody connects to the internet at the same time, and not everybody goes on a bt frenzy as soon as they're back from work, you can do better than a mere 30KBps
conclusion: I'm fine with throttling, I understand it might be needed, but not that slow. |

Business connection on ERX03 in Etobicoke, No throttling at all.
EDIT: Just checked two more business connections, one in brantford and another in waterloo, both with the same login. No throttling at either. One was ERX02, the other ERX03

I am currently downloading through bittorent at over 200kbps and hit over 400 earlier today.
So I am as of this moment NOT throttled.
In Oakville, On for the record.
heh, broke 400 in the time it took to write that, so it definitely hasn't hit here yet. |

I am downloading a torrent at full speed from
»torrent.fedoraproject.org/
and no throttling at all. Montreal, ERX01.
If you could, test with a popular torrent before posting here that you are throttled. |
