Does Rogers chock on VPN as well.
I had a VPN service for 3 months when Bell started that throttling last October. It worked great I was full speed 24/7 but for $15 a month I don't know if it's really worth it. |

1 edit | That $15 was only for the VPN service.
So the only way to really avoid BS throttling is with a VPN service. |

1 edit | Right, but while you got "full speed" on torrents with VPN tunnelling, it is still dependent on seeders from there. NG's get you full speed on all files no matter the obscurity was my point - no need for VPN.
Or is this whole "throttling everything" meaning they're hammering that too?....I mean Rogers throttles, but not my newsgroups... |

| The VPN was great when I wanted to DL something during their peek hours (4pm-2am) That when they choke your connection, for instance I needed to type something so I downloaded Microsoft Word at 6pm thank to the VPN I got it within a few hours otherwise the full DL would of started at 2am that night. |
