Bill you are boring me now; you have very selective reading and refuse to accept that everything isnt rosy on the network.
If you know anything about networking you will understand that a misconfigured traffic shaper will cause mayhem, you should also know where packet loss comes from.
You are deliberately trying to assasinate my character becouse i have spoken out about heavy downloaders ruining other users internet access - Which you are one of.
and as my final dig at you personally, i see you didn't deny that you are undertrained
With regards to the swearing, i apologise for it but i needed to convey a point, and the words in my head were not so easy to translate, and knowing that the site would block them anyway i decided to use them - that way you would get the idea of what i was saying.
I am done with this topic now; but be warned that every time i see somebody moaning about slow newsgroup access i WILL bring the point up again.
and a personal note to BillC:
As an NTL employee you really should be ashamed of yourself; you know damn well that if every customer on the network was to download 200gb + a month it wouldne be long before it all went pear shaped. And if you dont know it then i suggest you go and find out.
