Would using say Mullvad at 5 Euros per month get around BT's peak time throttling of p2p?
Just signed up for BT Infiniti 2 but now am a little concerned about their peak time usage policy
Thanks in advance...

Cheaper to just set up your client software right and not have to worry at all.

|
And how would i go about doing that please?

If using Utorrent just put protocol encryption to forced..... If only things where that simple , the only way to circumvent traffic shaping is by using a SSL link, usually in the form of a VPN service that allows P2P down &uploading, this also more importantly hides you IP address from those nasty con men (law firms) AKA andrew crossley and their predecessors , so you don't end up with letters demanding hundreds of pounds to make it go away
Alternatives are set the client sw to run outside peak times, and use only private trackers ,you will probably have to register with these first, and also be expected to seed back at least what you download, unless you choose to make a donation (payment ) to them, using a private tracker is more secure than using the likes of the pirate bay, but there is no guarantee that the tracker hasn't been infiltrated by your anti piracy police , or better still don't use p2p,

Ive had infinity for a few months now and have used this method and all works fine. As long as the seeds are there I have always gone at full speed at whatever time of day.
Personally I would not use anything other than a private tracker for the reasons you say, but you will have to register to these which can sometimes be difficult due to member limitations.

This is all completely false.

Did you mean set the protocol to encrypted and this alone?
if that is the case then something on their part isn't configured correctly, ,or isn't working correctly, unless it works differently to all other traffic shaping used by other isp's who implement it
As with plenty of other isp's who throttle p2p it's very clear that this has no effect on speeds even bt's adsl it has no effect,

Yes, When I was on Sky LLU this was never a problem. Since having Infinity all I have altered on Utorrent is set the outgoing protocol encryption to forced. I also have "allow incoming legacy connections" ticked but cannot remember if this was already in place before migrating?
As I have said this has worked for me perfectly and have hit speeds of over 4MB/s at any time of the day.
