I talked to a guy thats a Tier 3 rep @ Suddenlink, he said they use Ellecoya to monitor and throttle torrents, and any sort of download activity. They also throttle X-Box live, most MMO's, and the throttling is set up on timers, basically, they catch you with a spike in bandwidth, they throttle your connection to about 10kbps for 2hrs. Apparently they are going to be doing this from now on. I asked if they are going to offer any plans for a 'wide open' connection per se, he said nothing is set in stone until they switch over everything from cox. The main reason of this is apparently they're hurting for cash because of the buyout of this region, and are 'maximizing network costs' by doing this.
Time to switch ISP's... Read up on the software here: http://www.ellacoya.com/products/ --------------------  |
