Re: bypassing torrent throttling?
Dave, you are right on.
Bell could develop the sniffing capability to identify p2p traffic headers inside a mlppp stream. Then their fscked DPI machines could do their lame and obscene manipulation in the data to slow it down, like they do to regular ppp connections.
It's unfortunate that BCE has chosen this path of minimizing investment, drop customer and technical support to the bare minimum, and generally nickel and dime their customers (including us, third party wholesaler dsl clients).
I would bet they HATE the idea of bonding two or more lines together (without even mlppp involved) - that allows people to get 10 to 12 Mb/s synch, 1.6 Mb/s upload, and a 400 GB a month or larger monthly bandwidth, depending on who they got their service from.
This at a much lower cost, with much less restrictions than Bell's own ADSL+ 10 Mb/s or higher services. |
