There is no traffic shaping or usage monitoring on the UKOnline LLU network at this time. Fact. If there were traffic shaping it would not be evadeable by changing ports as the traffic being shaped on the non-LLU services is shaped using packet inspection hardware which doesn't care about the port being used and looks into the contents of packets. Fact.

He is one of my best friends and he isn't going to lie to me (lol why would he). He's only been in Birmingham coming up two years after leaving bonny Scotland for Brummieland (& a bird). So please don't try to tell me UK online are not traffic shaping or monitoring their networks.
I just said the LLU one wasn't being shaped or monitored at the moment, the non-LLU services are being shaped and letters sent for high utilisation. 20GB / day is perfectly possible on non-LLU 2Mbit, which is both being shaped and monitored. Someone using 12 - 14GB in a day wouldn't raise eyebrows unless they did it repeatedly, there are people on 2Mbit who were shifting 600GB/month.

I've a certain unique insight into this stuff, I do know what I'm talking about with regards to these particular matters. Think Bill C might be able to testify to that.

I've spoken to loads of TW employee's and they have all got different information. Some one's will tell you to the nearest month of upgrade's/changes and others have no knowledge at all. I wouldn't rule out traffic shaping yet.
The guy I spoke to was a tad more senior than the people you get on the phone He didn't say anything about ruling it out for the future but certainly not there right now.
