i know how torrents work ffs & iv tested it on my own, so that shows what you know

Anyone in Preston / Wigan / Blackpool the usual contestants for this stuff seeing anything going on with P2P on their broadbandings?

Ignitionnet · 03-09-2008, 21:09

Never mind, along with some info on here and some other stuff I've heard from reliable peeps seems Waltham Park is the lucky contestant this time.

Would make sense as it means they then do not need to use stm on 50 meg, Instead use application throttling ?

Yep quite possibly.

'It has no STM, look everyone no STM on our 50Mbit, give us Ã‚Â£50 a month for our no STM 50Mbit service!'*

*oh by the way check the AUP, we reserve the right to shape as we see fit.

Wrong tense on 'hope they don't' to be honest.

Indeed however this is VM we are talking about, This is the same company that said on the newsgroups it was NOT testing STM and then released it 3 days later ?

there is a trace route of this forum that proves they are doing this is you care to look for it .

Considering there is now DPI being used in that area as well as STM you have to wonder what VM are thinking...

Ignitionnet · 04-09-2008, 00:23

Pound signs. How little bandwidth can we allocate per customer while keeping them vaguely happy.

Shame really. My browsing on VM is the fastest that it ever has been even with a Be connection that was a similar speed, but if I find my occasional bursts of heavier usage crippled, both in terms of volume and the protocol I am using they can have the cable modem back.

As a World of Warcraft player I rely on Bittorrent to bring me updates in a timely fashion. This is a perfectly legal use of the protocol. It's one thing forcing me to try and avoid STM, quite another to cripple my use of the protocol as it's on a not wanted list.

This is a new one on me

They can go **** themselves

Give me my old 1 mb Telewest back

you can have it back with virgin bandwidth throttling well for around 10 mins then its back to 512k
