Me too, never again will I enter into a contract that is more than a couple of months, never, ever again. no, no ,no. I will not ever.

I think that says it.

Below is all the centrals at 7.13, which is peak time, now if they are throttled, I want to know what connection you have got.

Below are all the centrals at 21:57:01, which is also peak time - now if they aren't being throttled, I want to know what connection you have got.

It don't affect me, unless it goes under 2Mbis, I would not notice any difference. I noticed that it is going back up again. But syaing that even 4Mbits is enough for most people, You would not get that sort of speed with Many ISp's at this price.

I know people say that Newnet don't don't throttle, but they also don't give you a lot of GB for your money either. It depends what you want at the end of the day. I would love to know how Newnet copes with demand, unless they have not got enough customers to have that problem.

I am happy with ADSL24, I think they offer a great service for the price, even if I could get close to 8 Mbits and I was throttled to 4Mbits for a while, it would not worry me, after all, eveything you need to do on the net can be done with a connection speed of 2mbits, unless you are using BT vision and then that is a different thing.

The point isn't whether people are happy with Entanet's throttling - the point simply is that Entanet do throttle.

Conversely you can get faster speeds for less than Entanet charge from LLU providers mainly with no caps either.

What you just posted was not throttling.The centrals automatically drop to lower levels around 10 to avoid packet loss as off-peak comes in.After 10 mins they come back up.

Better luck next time

You hit the nail on the head. "It depends what you want at the end of the day."

Entanet cater for heavy users, and have to throttle. The method they use seems to be the best there is, and the effect is small, but all Tony is saying is they DO throttle. Fact. The users are happy with it. Fine. But when a poster asks for a non-throttling ISP it is not fair to the poster for Enta re-sellers, never mind users, to deny the Enta ALT (throttle). It is up to the asker to decide if the ALT is acceptable - for most it will be.

Newnet price structure deters heavy users as you say. For the non-heavy users they are cheaper and better than Enta because by not having the heavy users they do not need to throttle, or lose packets! My IP Profile is 4500, my speeds vary from 4200 best to 3800/3900 typical to 3200 minimum. I doubt if Enta would give me that - at 50% higher price.

Enta do throttle,your right.The fact is that they have so much capacity at the moment that the throttling has little or no effect on most peoples connections.

Whats making the fan boys as you call them mad is the fact your going around nearly every post making them out to be Tiscali the second.

Collins dictionary. Throttle:-

noun - any device that controls the quantity of fuel or fuel and air mixture entering an engine.

verb - to control or restrict (a flow of fluid) by means of a throttle valve.

The centrals automatically drop everyones speeds to lower levels? Got any more twaddle you want to tell us about?

I think you will find that BT centrals don't "automatically" drop customers speeds just for Entanet customers unless Entanet are implimenting some form of network controls.

What is the fancy market speak for that from Entanet? Bet it is some other form of "tool" that the PR Entanet fanboys won't admit is throttling!

Better luck next time!
