| Does 3Web cable throttle P2P traffic?
I have searched for all posts on forums, but can't get a definitive answer.
Is 3web's CABLE service, being on leased Rogers line, throttle P2P traffic? What about newsgroup traffic?
Secondly, I notice that 3web doesn't offer "Platinum" service in the GTA, despite those speeds being offered by Rogers - is this just due to an un-updated website? |

North York, ON | CIA is unthrottled since you'll be on their own network. Rogers could throttle them, but has not done so.

Please confirm my unthrottled ISP options, which I believe are:
- 3Web Cable
- Acanac DSL (using SSH tunneling)
- Teksavvy DSL (using MLPPP)
- Primu DSL (providing im on GCC ADSL2+ profile and have the Triple Value Bundle) |

Hi All,
I'm a 3web Golden Cable user and live in North York. I used to get over 200K download speed via emule(a p2p software).
My internet was cut off 2 days ago. I called 3web and they sent a ticket to Rogers. Yesterday afternoon my internet came back. I noticed they assigned me a different IP address. The problem is, my p2p download speed degraded a lot. I only got 10k download speed last night. It went up to 50K after 8:30am this morning.
I am wondering if 3web throttles P2P like rogers does now.
Can anybody confirm that? Thanks a lot. |

North York, ON | Nope, they don't throttle.
What's your IP? Is it a Rogers one? Maybe they activated you on the wrong service by mistake or something.

Velcom, like TekSavvy, supports MLPPP.
Acanac and eBox are currently working to be able to offer MLPPP in the future. |

Nope, it's a Cybersurf IP - it looks fine to me. Nothing has changed on your end or anything? The CIA connection here is still working fine and unthrottled.
