Ive just had an engineer out to replace my modem due to speed issues.
Heres what I'm noticing re. traffic shaping

Normal web browsing is fine, I downloaded sp2 for office03 from the microsoft website a 100meg file(twice), and got a consistant speeds of 1196kbps.

P2P Bittorrent, on a site I use regularly were my dl speed usually averages 900kbps+. I now receive only a quater of my bandwidth 230-240kbps (200+ seeds, 11 Peers) this has been happening since last week.
Also when I'm using p2p web browsing is affected too.

Ive spoken with CS and found there are 5200 subscibers on the UBR, so I know for a fact they have introduced it here (Bournemouth), and as for peak time shaping I dont see evidence of this, morning/daytime/evening my speed does not increase beyond 240kbps on p2p.

Does this breach the NTL's TAC, Im going to try to cancel my contract now and go with a provider that doesnt make sly underhand changes like this.

I hope someone in NTL's management does read these boards, sit up and take notice because once people realise whats going on they'll have a revolt on their hands.

I can get 16meg bb adsl unlimited from Bulldog for £10 less than I pay now.

(Jumping sinking ship now) byen bye ntl and your unscrupulous tactics, thats £70 a month you wont be getting from me anymore.

I appologise for the rant...
