that means: they see what you do, and they cut down your speed. easy as that. Most of the ISP does that allot, and usually excuses it with that they need the speed to the other user so they can surf the web with fast speed. and dont some user taking up bandwidth
Thats what I kept asking that woman, and all she said is she couldnt tell me HOW they manage traffic, and I kept asking couldnt or wouldnt lol, thats when she actually asked what a port was
But she was confident it was only peak hours this is happening all the time.
Know they monitor and I have been carefull not to download in peak hours, out of peak i downloaded over 90GB in this last month
That is maybe more than normal (god I love these newsgroups pmsl) but never seen anything affect me out of peak hours before, but before I used to use torrents, know they work different but do still use ports surely, oh and she did say they restrict p2p , but newsgroups aint p2p are they, I may just be downloading a lot of big emails, at least there no uploading of the same ammounts
