And I quote I'll post an update shortly but as a taster I can confirm that we have captured some really useful data. Initial results show that about 10% of our customers use P2P and that those users (largely) equate to about 50% of the total bandwidth usage although not all of that data is P2P.

More smoke and mirrors from Paul, 10% of p2p users using 50% bandwidth? Dont believe it!. Live HD streaming more like. Netflix who are demanding priority for their wares I believe, from isp`s.
These 10% have been using all the bandwidth for as long as I've been on xDSL. They've been on every ISP that I've used, they've been put on the bad-lad pipe, they've been hauled up in court and threatened with gaol for downloading the Internet as if it's a heinous crime and still they persist.
We have finished collecting the data from the trial and are now in the process of analysing it. We will then be in a position to finalise the policy and advise our customers. Just to re-iterate this inst a stalling tactic its about doing it properly.
So what happens now?
I will be communicating directly to the Coms users in an email later this week to update further.
In the meantime the traffic management priorities and timings will remain in place.
As ever, should you prefer a personal response to a query then please do drop me a PM and I'll get back to you as soon as is possible.
If the trial is over then we can all expect to be back on full service then until you determine if there is an issue or not? So when I activate newsgroups or P2P then I'm not expecting any issue right now, yes? That would certainly be the RIGHT thing today if you are being upfront with everyone.
Unless of course you already made the decision to continue the throttling before any data was collected at all.
If you have finished collecting the data and ARE analysing it to finalise a policy then everyone will have been put back on the service they are currently paying for until then? Again, just trying to see if you have improved on your communication to your customers in the last few days given that the amount of complaints on here will only be a fraction of those people with an issue that again you have not yet been in touch with.
