Re: [Extreme] alternative ports for 1720 (tested)
Ports 1755 and 1720 both seem to work good for me.....much better then any other port so far. Thanks.

Hey, rikkards,
I also live in Ottawa, and am on the rchrd phub. We got a letter for excessive usage before the cap was instituted, but those were all seemingly hollow threats.
At first, for us, around November I'd say, Azureus started going REALLY slow, like 0-1k/s.
Port 1720 fixed this, but, since Jan. 1st, all my torrents are stuck on 0.
We called Rogers, and, at first, they denied anything about bittorrent throttling. Finally, we went to the cancellation department, and they transferred us to some really high up person in tech support (yeah right), and he acknowledged the throttling, and said there was nothing he could do.
We decided to cancel, even though we've been with Rogers forever, there was nothing we could do.
We now are looking for a new ISP to go with. You say that none of the DSL services would be good here? |

I found it variable. I was getting a total of 100kB a few days ago then down to 4 or 5. I see no pattern. It took 30 seconds to disconnect my Rogers modem and connect my DSL from Primus - and now I get consistent high rates. |

just a question, since I am on a router like linksys do I have to forward the 1720 port in the router settings to get good speeds? The thing is every since I got this bitt slowdown like all of us I can't even get a green on azureus, and it passes the NAT test :S so weird. Since I am new to bitcomet which is what I use now I get the green arrow not sure if that is proper. |

I'm using 1755 now and I noticed a huge improvement. I'm in Toronto and I was getting 5kB/s spikes that would drop down to nothing before I switched. Now I just downloaded something at 450kB/s. |

Make a long story short, I bitched at rogers..... they said they would call me back......
they didn't ( big surprise)
I called again - got thye regular I" i dont know my head from my ass story and another promise for a return call.
that was a few days ago
today I get home, there is a recorded msg on my home answering machine that the ticket was closed and problem rectified
I checked it out - and it is - dloads up to 200k/s and uploads full 100k/s using utorrent on anyport
I am on WLFDLE hub in Mississauga - could they really have done this? |

FWIW, I have Rogers at home and Sympatico at school, and BitTorrent is by far much "better" on Sympatico (even though I use the port 1720 trick at home). Download speeds are much higher, trackers don't time out as much, and you're able to see a lot more people in the swarm.
If you use your Internet connection for mainly BitTorrent, then Bell is probably the way to go. Just my two cents. |
