| I've seen some talk on these boards that the ActionTec router has some performance issues with large numbers (e.g. 100) of simultaneous connections. This isn't Verizon regulating things but could be an issue if you are seeding a large number of popular torrents. The solution appears to be using an alternative router.
YMMV. | |

| Re: bit torrent and fios said by blue_trooper  :This isn't Verizon regulating things but could be an issue if you are seeding a large number of popular torrents. The popular conspiracy theory is that Verizon purposely crippled the firmware on the Actiontec to limit P2P on their network and/or that they're slow to issue a fix for it because of the aforementioned reason. I don't buy into that theory at all.
said by BryanOnRR :only on dsl would have a limit Even on DSL, I don't think they implement traffic shaping. I have a friend that lives across town that still has DSL - routinely downloads from BT, Usenet and Winny without any problems at high speeds. | |
