awesomo Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Many of u may know about throttling. Service providers stopping torrenting by sending false packets to dl'ers. Now i recently heard this was deemed illegal. so when will comcast and others stop doing it?? is it fully illegal yet. I'm curious tell me everything you all know! thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/119908-when-does-throttling-stop/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMS Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Although I never had a problem with comcast doing anything to my torrenting (customer for 7 years) I switched over to Fios because comcast throttled my connection to 10567kb/s down and like 1500kb/s up. Now I've got 15/15 with fios. Think about switching.

FrankOS_Scripting Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 When ISP stops to say that the little 5% of his suscribers "massively" (theorically) flood his network and stop 95% other percent to had decent net surf experience. It's just to stop Bt. {censored} ISP try to make the law...

awesomo Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 understood but i heard it was recently declared illegal. does that mean there is an end in sight?

FrankOS_Scripting Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I don't think so. Even the court says it's illegal, ISP will continued to that anyway. For making money on your back and laughing at your face because your stuck with them and goddamn throttling. If I was in your situation, I'm getting on my shoes and go at the first Verizon retailer and suscribe to this miracle of life : FiOS. Fiber optic is the best, and I know it's the future of services providing. Why not?

FrankOS_Scripting Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hey Atreyu, how much it's cost you for FiOS ? I'm just curious to know if Fios is affordable or very expensive (like 100 bucks) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/119908-when-does-throttling-stop/#findComment-852175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
