Not only do they do this to BT, but news servers are capped aswell. |

| how do you know? any proof?
Not to discredit you, but a lot of people say DL's are capped when really it's a problem with the (A)Seeders on BT, or (B)It only uploads at a certain speed and maybe it's bogged down...
but if you have proof of it, then good to know. |

Canada | Three major things us users have already noted:
1) BT throttling and P2P throttling.
2) Throttling on USENET newsservers.
3) Throttling on certain websites in Vancouver areas.
So much for "exploring rich multimedia sites".. |

| said by Manatrite  :2) Throttling on USENET newsservers. use a client that supports more than one server pre file. instantly double your cap since the 2 megabit cap is per server. ex: download 3 files at a time from 3 seperate servers, GV, VC, OK and you instantly have a 6 megabit cap.
good luck ever coming close to that cap, even on extreme

Shaw only does throttling in Vancouver and Alberta is not under the same restrictions. |

»Usenet/NNTP slow down?
A user claims they have been throttled using newservers. This is in Alberta. |

join:2005-04-07 | The article was about P2P, so thats what I was directing it at. There have been reports of news server throttling but its not effecting everyone, so who knows. I can max out my connection with 2 connections to the news server.... |

For newsgroups/USENET it's advisable to use a commercial service. I use EasyNews, and they're aware of ISP's throttling traffic on certain ports (specifically NNTP) and so they offer alternative ports, thereby getting round NNTP throttling. When I download from them I get my regular 750KB/sec, no problems!
