(Note: This info was given as a personal opinion so may or may not be correct)
  • On-net transfers (i.e. between ntl: customers) will not be shaped because each customer is paying ntl: for their bandwidth.ntl
  • : users receiving data from another ISP will not be shaped because they are sucking from another ISP. Having said that the ntl: user maybe subject to shaping on the other network
  • non-ntl: receiving data from an ntl: customer is likely to be shaped because they are taking data from ntl:'s network but are not paying ntl: for the bandwidthburn
So if i read this correctly the following could happen.

I want to upload my latest convention pictures to my non ntl hosted website i would have been shaped.

I want to make a skype call to my friend in Norway i would have been shaped.

I want to make changes to my Non ntl hosted website i would have been shaped.

The list goes on.

Waits for the possibility of this :- ........"if you pay a additional charge we will not shape your non NTL provided voip calls"
