The thing that annoys me most about the whole traffic management system is that when I want a file off the internet I want it when I want it not on the 3rd tuesday of the month between the 15th and 59th second of the 15 hour of the day or what ever convoluted times they come up with next.
I work in the ISP industry so I don't expect a completely un-contended service. I pay for the XXL package because I will download large files at times, I beta test games, I work in IT so also regularly get iso's, I watch Iplayer and buy my online games buy digital distribution. All normal techy and legal usage and im willing to pay a reasonable price for it.
The worst thing is they say there's no traffic shaping but right now im doing about 20gig of downloading from servers in Manchester with multiple 100mbit links (and I know for a fact they arnt fully loaded because they are my private co-located servers). I was getting about 4000kb/s but all of a sudden im getting 1200kb/s which is strangely close to what id get if they capped the line at 25% of its normal speed like they do on all other STM lines.
There may be other reasons for it but it does make you think
