Re: [HN7000S] Traffic Shaping refer to locked thread 4 - 12
(Greg, I am RandyB21. Don't ask. Suffice it to say that these forums are monitored.)
What's standard to some is a revelation to others. I had no idea that ISPs have the tools to codify and control with such precision the usage of individual users. (I'm obviously not a frequent visitor to the diagnostics pages). But your statement that it "reveals nothing obviously related to this "4-12 thing" is not entirely correct. First, it further defines the meaning and use of various levels of throttle. The "soft throttle" is more than just the contracted service level. Second, it shows the growing sophistication of "traffic shaping" tools. Once again, I stress that this only illustrates what ISPs are CAPABLE of. It doesn't necessarily apply to the "4-12 thing." |

| The bottem line here is the 4 to 12 throttle is a screw job on certain users .If its just some kind of managment tool , Why not just let us deal with normal congestion with dips down into the 100's , 200's 300's etc . This method makes it like hughesnet are the ones hogging up all the bandwidth and its them denying us decent service during primetime . Most people are home after 4 and go to bed before midnight so effectively they are screwing you right out of the hours you'd like to set and enjoy your internet time . Its like they have found a way to take your money and screw you right out of what you are suppose to get for that money . Its pure dee thievery . I was much happier dealing with nature , nature being normal traffic . They always say , if you need more megs you should consider a higher plan , But they punish you even if you get a higher plan . I have broken no rules nor any terms of the contract . If I do download at the advertized speed that takes a total of 45 minutes over a 24 hour period . What the heck is so bad about that ? |

| Check out what's happing in Canada, where the traffic shaping is more out in the open and in-your-face. Google "traffic shaping Canada." Read the articles, but also read the comments following the articles. The debate is raging full force up there right now, especially following the complaint to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission. |
