Ah dont use p2p so not sure on how that works

If you've been experiencing slower than normal speeds since being migrated to the Coms service, it's most likely because your SNR is set to 12db.

If you can increase you max peers per torrent, limit your u/s bandwidth to something sensible, and have a healthy, well seeded torrent, I have always seen max dl speed for my sync in torrents.

11pm Monday, Usenet strangled to 60kbps... taking the mick. Just as well its a small file I am after... even so, I'll have to wait ages on it.
Screw this and screw coms.

done all that, only way I get back to my old speed is by finding a port that is not throttled by Coms.
But what really pees me off, is as I`m on a long line I struggle to better 400kbs on a good day anyway,

Ah, sorry, I was referring to p2p with an unthrottled connection.

7:48am and I'm still being throttled to under 500kbps. Really? I can understand the need at peak times but what excuse is there to throttle me to half of what my connection is capable of at 7:48 in the morning?

Coms had changed my SNR from 9db to 12db, and my connection was slowed down.

Then they changed it back to 9db, faster (still not back to ADSL24 levels, mind) for a few days, then [censored] again.

Then they changed it down to 6db, faster (still not back to ADSL24 levels, mind) for a few days, then [censored] again.

Then they changed interleaving off, faster (still not back to ADSL24 levels, mind) for a few days, then [censored] again.

...what fun. Just put it back to the way it was with ADSL24!

Because the heavy mob leave their BT clients running 24/7 and time is irrelevant?

Yet ADSL24 never had to yet things are so grim for Coms that they need to throttle connections constantly? I'm being throttled now to 50kbps. I can understand the need to prioritize traffic at busy times but this is just stupid. I think if there is actually a need for them to throttle to 50kbps at 8:20am, then they have more problems than just the "heavy mob"
