Yeah so for over a week my p2p connection has suffered severely. I'm using Azureus and have tried every trick in the book to get it working to its full potential again. I've been using it for a few years so I know what I'm doing. Every port I check says OK!....until I switch to it...then...NAT Error. My speeds are shit, I can't connect to more than 30 seeders or 30 peers at one time. I tried UTorrent, same thing. Basically the same problems that other people have reported. So today I went on the Insight Help Chat. You: Is Insight throttling internet bandwidth? Tech: No You: Are you lying? What about Sandvine? Tech: I'm not sure what you are talking about. You: Has Insight implemented Sandvine? long pause.... You: The reason I ask is because I have noticed SEVERE problems with my p2p connections and I suspect that Insight is throttling. Many people in many different forums also complain about this recent change and agree that Insight is throttling. long pause... Tech: There are network issues affecting speeds in some areas at certain times of the day. We're working with our vendors to resolve those issues. This is one of the highest priorities at Insight. Sounds like bullshit. Goodbye green smileys. I'm gonna look into another ISP if this doesn't change soon. Kinda sucks since now I'm at 10/1, but shit, 99% of my bandwidth goes to torrents so what's the point.
