said by TSI Gabe  :said by jfmezei : > for (;;) > printf("We do not throttle\n"); 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. primus went through this issue..and yes can have a say in the traffic that passes thorugh the bell equipment |

Does anybody actually check error codes anymore? Is there really any point in returning 0 or 1 or the like? |

ummm...are you sure??
my torrents are being throttled right now...and im positive that there is nothing wrong with my DL/UL speeds right now:
my ports are not blocked, my download speed was just stuck in the 20s...but about 3pm this afternoon, i had about 200+ kb/s on torrents...
and with 19000+ seeds, theres nothing wrong with the torrent at all...
and to further test it to see that theres nothing wrong with the torrent itself...i tried downloading Open Office 2.3.1 thu torrent...still the same speed... |

NO throttling here slowest was around 100 and fastest was almost 400k. If there was throttling my downloads wouldn't be that fast. If you are using crappy bitcomet it maybe the reason since some trackers and torrent clients block bitcomet users. |

You can't judge torrent speeds by public trackers. Find a good private tracker and then test it. |

Just 'cause you're getting slow link speed doesn't mean the problem is Teksavvy.
I live in a condo in downtown Toronto and for the past several months, my DL speed was 1.7Mbps.
Bell kept on telling me the DL speed was due to my distance from the CO until recently. A few weeks ago, another Bell tech told me that my location wasn't so far from the CO, and my DL speed had been capped to avoid repeated link drops.
They paid a visit a few days later, replaced some existing cable with a fiber optic link and dropped the cap. My DL speed is now 6.5Mbps, and it was no fault of Teksavvy.
I don't deal with Teksavvy tech support much, since problems are rare.
The few times I have dealt with them, I've found them to be much more technically aware and accurate than Bell and the other ISPs I've tried |

So uhh, I jsut spoke to a mate that works with Bell, apparently they're progressively going area by area in re: to throttling between a certain time, like 6pm - 2am.
I didn't notice it until this evening when my usual 430KB/s is now averaging at most, 30KB/s lol.
I'll put in a call to someone at TS and see if they can check it out as well, even though I read what Rocky and other TS techs mentioned so far. |

So are you saying that Bell is throttling Teksavvy users? Not impossible I suppose since the traffic goes through their network but you would think Teksavvy would know about it... I'd like to see what Rocky and co think about this. The pattern is the same as when Sympatico did it. A few people notice it, everybody else thinks they are crazy until it starts happening to them too. |
