Grrrrr.. Sick Communist!

What's next, are they going to charge just to be able to use P2P applications? I think the best route would be to disconnect from this ISP service and find a better ISP service, and watch how fast they change their tune.

It's kinda weak that they don't have the available bandwith to keep everybody on their network happy.

This just seems more like a slippery slope... first they stop P2P because of bandwidth, then what's next? They gonna stop gaming (which is almost all completely legitimate traffic because most game servers won't let you play copies of games) because of bandwidth? Then what else? IRC? Everything that can't possibly be cached in some way?

Since bandwidth is the root of PTD's problems, then they should immediately block all traffic whatsoever to and from their customers . I say PTD's customers should be also be proactive in helping to solve PTD's bandwidth problems... by dumping them immediately.

Hey dumb fsck. Communist? While not exactly communist, file sharing is a fairly socialist concept. Socialism believes (among other things) in sharing what you have with those that don't have. You don't have some of my good CDs, you can download them over P2P. That’s a fairly socialist (which is the foundation for communism) idea.
Think before you slander something you know nothing about you ignorant prick.
