Traffic shaping and throttling (either concurrent connections or byte caps) are not a substitute to upgrade your network.

We just got a quote for $3000.00 per month for a fractional T-3 at 10 MBit/Sec.

The reason we are willing to pay that kind of money to get an honest to God 10 Mbit/Sec connection is simple. It won't be shaped. It won't be capped. It won't be limited.

We are upgrading our network.

Now, cluefull one, how much of that would you like to purchase? We will sell you the first 1 Mbit/Sec for $300.00 per month. We will *PROMISE* you 1 Mbit/Sec when you want to run your torrents, we will not shape you, we will not cap you ...

AND WE WILL NOT MAKE A DIME...

You figure it out. Duh.
