FYI: I recently spoke to a representative from Shaw Cable after escalating a issue I had above Tier 2 support, he indicated to me that ellacoya is only used part time of sorts when a area is found to have excessive bandwidth usage He indicated that it is enabled and disabled based upon the determination from complaints and traffic patterns of users in an area, if they are adversely affected then Shaw enables it.
My chief complaint is that I use Blizzard's legitimate patch down loader for World of Warcraft to pre download the patches prior to patch day, however I have been unable to determine whether the the slow download of the patches are because of Ellacoya or Blizzards download servers. However, for any of my other Bit-torrent needs I use a encrypted client to encrypted client only option in a torrent program I currently use to get my torrents at a unhindered rate. So all in all the legit torrent users are being punished while others can use the alternate torrent program I use to circumvent traffic shaping for illegitimate purposes. I guess just like DRM the legitimate users are the losers. |
