Because it's easy, you just tick a few boxes on a GUI.

How do you know there isn't any taffic shaping going on or monitoring at UK Online for a FACT?
|
I said none on the LLU which is quite different to none full stop. If there were shaping on the LLU network I'd know because I'd be working on it. (The joys of contracting)

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.

The amount of workarounds is very limited and changing ports isn't one of them. People weren't throttled to 200kb/s, there is global shaping on the non-LLU platform which is dependent on the bandwidth being utilised by these protocols. Customers whose usage was targetted specifically were not throttled to a set rate in any way but were given a strict contention ratio.

Sorry but you are wrong because my friend HAS one of those letters for high utilisation with a LLU
|
Considering it's not being monitored it's not likely. If such a letter were sent it would have referred to non-LLU connections he might have had.

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
|
Again I didn't say that they weren't doing it at all just that they weren't doing it on LLU.

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".

You're welcome.
