yesterday it was both, video streaming was unaffected, However just ran a couple of tests now, p2p is throttled, uploads and downloads, web browsing (http) unaffected. Cant be bothered with anymore , it takes 8 minutes to run each one.
All I know is I`ve had enough, this is not the service I pay for.

You are wrong Bob, they are throttling P2P in the daytime to as I ran a few test this morning, strangely uploading was not traffic managed but downloading was big time!!

Steve

Well it goes against what Paul said the throttling period is. Was fine when i tried around 4pm today

They have been throttling in the day since they admitted to throttling, certainly the last couple of weeks., and all weekend. But they were`nt this afternoon as I posted earlier.

Yea i knew about that, but Paul said other day

From Wednesday 26th march to Monday 31st March.....

....Traffic management trial will operate from 1800-0000 Monday-Friday and 1000-0000 Saturday and Sunday. There has never been, and will NOT be any blocking of ports.

Well at midday they certainly had traffic management turned on!!

Just done some checking on my speed and I averaged downloading 136KB/s and uploading 145KB/s in an hour I managed to download 477MB and uploaded 508MB that's a poultry 7.95MB a minute and to think I am paying nearly £30 a month for FTTC that's even less than I could get with basic ADSL maxing out here!!!

No wonder they increased the monthly allowance to 500GB there is not a hope in hell of me using that at these speeds I have used so far 64.09GB of my 500GB allowance so I have 2 days to use 435.91GB Hmmmmm now if only I could get the speed I was paying for!!!

I don't download much data which is, I believe, the basis that BT charge ISPs on

On BT Wholesale (WBC) connections then (in broad terms) ISPs are charged for the maximum total throughput rate at their MSILs. Those are the handover points from BT Wholesale to the ISPs at the WBC nodes.

So they buy "nnn Mbps" throughput capacity, not "mmm MB" usage.

On TalkTalk Business connections WBC is not involved and traffic is generally handed over to a third-party backhaul provider at the exchange, such as Murphx/Daisy. How that is priced I don't know.

Is your upload traffic rate limited?

Your ISP appears to rate limit your uploads.
However, some of the measurements were affected by noise, which limits Glasnost ability to detect rate limiting.

Details:
* Your ISP appears to rate limit your BitTorrent uploads. In our tests, uploads using control flows achieved up to 15632 Kbps while uploads using BitTorrent achieved up to 215 Kbps.

* There is no indication that your ISP rate limits uploads on port 6881 or 46766. In our tests, uploads on port 6881 achieved up to 225 Kbps while uploads on port 46766 achieved up to 215 Kbps.

Is your download traffic rate limited?

Your ISP appears to rate limit your downloads.

Details:
* Your ISP appears to rate limit your BitTorrent downloads. In our tests, downloads using control flows achieved up to 27637 Kbps while downloads using BitTorrent achieved up to 209 Kbps.

* There is no indication that your ISP rate limits downloads on port 6881 or 46766. In our tests, downloads on port 6881 achieved up to 27637 Kbps while downloads on port 46766 achieved up to 19201 Kbps.

normal http on glasnost way slower than it's supposed to be

Does the test mention throttling on the http port?

Gotcha. (I think).

So they pay for the potential throughput available, used or not.
Thus, Coms seem to have come up short when it comes to the size of the pipe they have bought from BT / expected customer demand?

Well, If that is the case, I'm not impressed.
They must have had figures from ADSL24 and they knew what their current demands were pre-takeover.
Simple math?
