I don't tend to use Bit-torrent that much. Its more Newsgroups. This has now got me looking furiously for an adsl2+ provider in my area.

Re: Traffic Shaping
Would they recognise irc transfers and shape those?

Possibly by looking at the 6000 region port traffic, such as 6667, 6668 etc.

Or it could be Bill that the file sharers were most active in your region around that time leaching the bandwidth, but then I'm no expert.

Frank, your view here please.
ntl have updated the user policy with something that is going to happen, why do you think ntl have failed here?
Are you referring to the fact that this is in the user policy, and has not been communicated to each customer directly, such as a mail drop?

All I am saying, is as it looks like congestion is a great problem from where I am, it isn't overly needed to shape. Obviously the equipment will be prioritised to go where its needed the most and if provisioning of the VOD equipment is anything to go by then I have nothing to worry about.

So they'll be forcing people off the, relatively easy on the network, newgroups and onto, bandwidth sapping, bittorrent? Sounds like a plan

Because (just like they did with 'The Cap'), they have changed the AUP & not told anyone.
They have just amended the AUP probably in the hope that no one would notice-if ntl have nothing to hide & are willing to stand tall behind their traffic shaping, then why not just come out & announce what they are doing?
No, instead they just change the AUP & hope no one will notice.
As Frank says, clearly they haven't learnt their lesson from last time.

So when did they do this. If it was today then this smells of the cap debacle. Remember that was released on a Friday as well and no info given to the poor customer service people who had to field the calls.
I can see this thread just grow and grow and grow

It depends on wether the shaping is port based. IRC XDCC does not use those ports, it uses a random port in a high up range.

Re: Traffic Shaping
Is this just the NTL side of things, or is it happening on the TW?
