ah yes just seen this:

"File sharing

We moderate the total volume of file sharing traffic on our network between 5pm and midnight on weekdays and midday and midnight on weekends. This policy is restricted to Peer to Peer ("P2P") applications and Newsgroups (which are commonly used to distribute large amounts of data)"

i'll give it 5mins and report back

trying large file from Astraweb (ssl) now - I'm on 50Mb package

getting 20Mb via port 563 (the problem one)

getting full 50Mb via port 443

[SnoopZ]

On port 443 i'm maxing out at 20mbit with a perfect flatline which is perfect, however it is all up and down on port 563 anywhere between 2mbit-18mbit which is hopeless.

Just tried usenet here

Astraweb

ssl enabled

ssl-eu.astraweb.com

port 563 15-18 mbs

port 443 full speed

50mb btw..

VPN works

pure oversubscription this time of day, mtu 1500 = 1-5meg on speedtest
mtu 900 = slightly higher 5-10 meg.

latency is very high also.

so VM have just showed that 75% of the capacity in my area is not capable of handling traffic on port 80,443,21,22,8080. rest squeezed into other 25%.

I have just started to get really slow speeds on Giganews also.

On my 50meg connection I can always saturate it at over 6000k/sec but now I can barely pull 1000k. All other web traffic is fine and speedtest shows me at 49.3Meg.

Definite traffic shaping



Edit: Turned on SSL and I'm back up at 6000k d/l. There you have it!

I know it has been said that it will be limited at a more local level but I find that hard to believe.
