| Kudos A least they are straight forward and not a bunch of side stepping jerk offs like Comcast. Sandvine rocks! I want one. I have no problem with what they are doing. Throttle away! It is a necessary step to keeping network performance from degrading by selfish and uneducated users. -- William Ruckman »ruckman.net | |

| Re: Kudos I totally agree exocet_cm . All the sandvine implementation I have seen is purely blocking. Is it even able to limit bandwidth upon packet inspection? I would really like to see a sandvine tech or a cable tech with sandvine experience come forward and explain what and what not can be done with this device. -- Join #dslr unofficial chat! | |

| RCN not traffic shaping in the Philadelphia area Not by me in the philadelphia area at least.
Jeez, that's one of the reasons I got RCN over comcast when I moved into this apartment. I don't like my data being messed with, even if I'm not a big bit torrent user.
Besides, RCN seems like the little guy out of my choices, and I like that. Also, their phone service is a regular land line not VOIP so I don't have to worry about any of the issues that go alone with VOIP phone service. | |

| RCN BitTorrent Issue is NOT FIXEDI Located in Philly region. Upload connections are definitely being throttled and have been being throttled for at least two weeks.
Paid for the 20 Mpbs service for 8 months. Cable modem died and noticed that I had actually been getting 10 Mbps or less. Because the new cable modem speeds were the same as my old one. When I asked the technician to do a bandwidth test my suspicions were confirmed. They had never updated the firmware or whatever controls the speed on my old cable modem and the new cable modem had to be updated as well.
Running a test today I am getting 12 Mbps on the download which is still no where near what I am paying for.
$65 dollars a month to be jerked around. FIOS cannot get here soon enough.
Stay away from RCN. | |
