Re: Traffic Shaping

Well I am unsure of what I think about this and it is yet to happen so cant pass judgement on how its implemented. But from the wording it does seem like it wont be as bad as plusnet's shaping which is a relief. My current problems are not caused by shaping as everything slows down including http so I think their is no shaping yet.

What worries me is if ntl start delaying upgrades as a result of shaping making them not needed and they then get tempted to shape that little bit more when capacity becomes tight again and the shaping eventually becomes heavy.

The p2p caches I only see as a good thing it will save upload bandwidth at the ubr and should speed things up, in fact I think ntl should stop http caching and use those servers for p2p caching like someone else suggested in the past.
