Proven by the fact the first router on a tracert is Coms. The Enta entries are nearer to Telehouse and part of backhaul rental. Not resold Enta DSL.

So wonder which wholesale provider does supply them?

Ah yes Bob that would be when I try to download a torrent or two, I emphasise the word try!!

I can kinda live with the throttling in the week until midnight, cos that was peak time until coms took over anyway, but throttling all weekend??? Sorry but that's one step too far for me
What's the best way to get the MAC, get a ticket or phone up, I'm outta here

surely that just shows backhaul? My ADSL24 tracert used to show ADSL24 router/ip as 1st then into Murphx in subsequent hops. As it does now Coms/ip then Enta as second and subsequent hops. It doesnt show the whole routing Roberto , or that was my understanding?

I don't know either. Something has to suffer; you don't get something for nothing.

Comments about streaming are true to an extent but they don't usually download at a constant rate. They tend to buffer in chunks which still isn't particularly kind on networks. http://puu.sh/7M39T.jpg I agree it doesn't need that much in comparison but there's certainly more people streaming than torrenting etc. Enough to be causing American ISPs to moan.


As an experiment, I'm running everything over a VPN now. Gaming over it wasn't particularly smooth (first impressions, not an extensive test) so I assume VPN traffic is treated as middle-of-the-road. A slight speed and latency hit but most things are running OKish.

I can not express how annoyed I am about this. I have only used 11gb of by "unlimited" 1000gb allowance, and yet I am being throttled to 20kbps! Dial up speed. How can Coms justify this?

I've just spent the evening looking at other isps, I'm off.

Got mine via a ticket.

Now just to decide who to give it too......

I'm in no hurry to jump ship yet. I will wait to see what Paul has to offer come Monday and then make my decision.
Zen offer a deal that suits me so I have alternatives.
Will get my MAC online if the time comes and only use the phone if there appears to be a problem.

Has anyone elses allowance reset back to zero yesterday ?
