Story: BT says no to traffic shaping
What a hypocrite!
So Beal calls such practices 'big brother-ish' does he? And yet BT is currently engaged in massive traffic-shaping, which commenced - somewhat ironically - this month, coinciding with this article.
Whilst it's certainly good to hear that BT has no plans to implement traffic shaping under 21CN, I wish they would be more forthcoming about their current practice of throttling users' lines if any P2P traffic is detected.
To make it worse, their system is broken anyway; a harmless RPG that one of my sons likes to play triggers the throttle after a couple of minutes - possibly due to the number of ports it opens - making his game almost unplayable.
It took me two hours of calls to BT, being shuttled from pillar to post, before they finally admitted they are doing this. And they only did that because I had out of exasperation requested my MAC number.
