Re: [OOL] [OOL] Does Optimum Online still regulate torrents?said by Alcohol:I never experienced any problems with high amounts of uploading in the years of using OOL. "I never experienced" is a HUGE difference from "They have never". Your original statement is plain wrong. |

if you are deemed a threat to the network due to hacking, spamming, uploading copyrighted material, or serious trojan activity... then yes, you will be throttled and/or bricked.
but you've got to think of it in terms of speeding on a highway. sure, people get caught, but not everybody does.
I've only really seen ten or twelve of these situations since I started in October... the bricking/throttling is to get your attention, it's like a warning shot.
All ISP's do it to some extent, I remember when I lived in Albany NY my mother got throttled for having some serious trojan virus issues. |

I have no idea how the hell you can upload so much.. Are you telling your torrent speeds haven't been affected as of yet? |

Just switched over to OOL from Verizon, and my torrent speeds have decreased drastically. Gotta find a solution somehow. |
