1 edit | Re: MstarMetro throttling p2p connections If you are talking about bittorrent try turning on encryption (Azureus or uTorrent) and see if that bypasses it. If that doesn't work try turning on lazy-bitfield as well. Also make sure you are using a port between 40000-65535 is you are not the standard BT ports. If that doesn't fix if you may be out of luck 
How much are they throttling you? Does MstarMetro have caps? | |

| Re: MstarMetro throttling p2p connections Yeah, I have MstarMetro as well.. and recently, about a month ago, my torrents have gone down the flusher. In addition, torrent encryption has been a very inadequate solution in my experience.
I am looking to switch to either xmission or at&t.. but I am unsure whether they throttle as well. Any ideas? | |

Orem, UT | encryption works wonders!
The throttle was down to about 10kb/s total. It blew hard! No matter now.
As for a cap, no idea. As I can't even find a contract for them now. going to keep looking, dont want a suprise in the mail. | |

Draper, UT | Re: MstarMetro throttling p2p connections She said that they have a person that the ONLY job they do is call people if they get close / hit it. She did say they Quote: "Lock in your IP" ... which I am guessing means they may shut off the connection. | |
