I don't think TWC would throttle you. Depends on your definition of "throttle." I consider knowingly overloading links or peering points in order to cause a bottleneck, or not doing anything to releave an overload, to be the same thing as throttling. The end result is pretty much the same at least. /M

DocDrew How can I help? Premium Member join:2009-01-28 SoCal	DocDrew Premium Member 2013-Jan-3 10:56 pm Frequently traffic for other sites without problems traverse the same peering/transit points, so its possible the CDN side of the connection to those aggregation points might be the issue. You'd need more info to really figure it out.

The end result is pretty much the same at least. As CDN's are the ones who choose which peering link or cheap-o transit provider to flood, your definition of throttling is happening on the CDN side. CDN's are the ones that control the "best path" performance. ISPs have little control on the link choices.

If an ISP only advertises to a CDN from a single link then that's the only link the CDN is gonna use. /M
