Cool that's a step closer to quashing the traffic shaping fear I'm having at the moment.

I really hope they don't do it but the only way I could see it working is if ADSL & Cable carry it out (all ISP's). Really where will you turn? And with no choice in the matter.

But in the end it's us who's paying for it. ISP's should be the one monitoring and reducing/warning very heavy users. Because of the leechers the average user is going to suffer maybe. This will not do!. If I have a 10meg line what would it be good for? A few patches for games and driver files.

I mostly use my line for my gaming but on the odd occasion I do download some various stuff through Torrents and to be limited to 200kb/s out of 1,260Kb/s is ridiculous. Especially as I don't hammer the network.

I hope I find a fast torrent for testing myself as were in different areas janipewter.
