In reply to a post by smurf46:

I first saw this on ISP Review (news item) but it's confirmed by Orange's own network management page in broadband help - I don't think the link works when I tried to paste it but it's http://help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/personal/b...

Thanks smurf. I think that settles the question of Oranges FUP once and for all. That info certainly wasn't online 2-3 weeks ago, though it confirms what I was told by several Orange employees.

Not quite. They still appear to have traffic management (as one expects with a service run by BT) so there might still be a question about whether Orange purchase enough backhaul. But the removal of the aggregate download limit (whatever it was) is good. And it does leave the t&cs in a bit of a mess, but this is how I interpret them!

For me personally theres been no traffic shaping at any time of the day - and that is using alot of torrents and well known filehosts. Maybe the shaping only applies to IPsteam?

IMPORTANT:

Orange buy from BT Wholesale who do not run the traffic management that BT Retail (Option 1,2,3 etc) use. The BT Retail management is RAN by BT Retail.

Same old rubbish here, less than 2mb in the evenings, haven't got round to jumping ship yet.

I can confirm it... Orange are indeed limiting P2P broadband speeds in the evenings.

Instead of ~1.2MB/sec download speed I got a couple of weeks ago, it's now capped at a minuscule 50KB/sec in the evenings.

Grrrrr. Streaming anyone?
