Re: Should Virgin Media Throttle p2p traffic?

There seems to be a perception that if you're a high bandwidth user you can only be doing so if you're into illegal file sharing.

I would guess that the real people who are affecting the network know how to pretty much circumvent any traffic shaping. VPN's not only hide their IP address but should also scupper the ISP's traffic management systems, that is, if they really are not inspecting peoples VPN packets, which I personally think they are doing.

The internet is becoming, if it isn't already, a utility so why not have a meter outside the house? I pay something like £80 p/m for my electricity and when I want to use it I can. Yet I pay half of that for my internet and basically can use it to it's full extent when I should be sleeping and can hardly use it at all for what I really want it for, gaming

LOL, I have a dedicated server to store my Linux ISO's on. It also runs Transmission to share them with everyone else
