What if it was too difficult to reduce the speeds through just torrents and newsgroups without messing with normal transfer speeds for all other tasks with packet inspection?

How do you know there isn't any taffic shaping going on or monitoring at UK Online for a FACT?

Why did he receice the letter then and had his speeds reduced to 200kb/s? for newsgroups and torrents. If I need to I will ask him to scan this document and post it to me to show you. He was actually downloading at 200kb/s till he got a work around for it.

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.
Sorry but you are wrong because my friend HAS one of those letters for high utilisation with a LLU

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.
Well what happened to Mr Insightful?. I'm sorry for being cheeky but I've already mentioned my friend has this letter. If I bloomin' read about it in the paper, fair point but no I didn't.

Well it seems that UK Online is doing it ALSO. FACT

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.
I apologise for that scare I was just worried as what I was downloading was running about 200kb/s and after what happened to my m8 made me paranoid. Was a "just incase".
