| 395714 | 2005-10-13 20:27:00 | Slingshot still does the 256Kb unlimited deal as well. $39.95 if you do at least $10 calls per month with them or $49.95 if you don't. I have been told that they also restrict P2P as well. |

| 395716 | 2005-10-13 21:14:00 | all my torrents come through just fine, and Mrs Metla has been known to make use of Limewire which also keeps a sizziling pace. Though purely out of habit I do change the default ports they use on install. |

Orcon (if thats who you use), don't just use prioritisation based on ports used, they have layer 7 QoS which tags packets sent and recieved, and bases them on what sort of traffic they are. It somehow figures it out. I have no idea how. Greven: Prioritisation has been in place since late July/early August, I think. They don't limit the amount that one can download at all, or slow down p2p apps all the time, just when bandwidth is needed during peak hours. |

| 395718 | 2005-10-14 03:44:00 | 64kbps is the broadband equivalent of dialup speed. You have been speed limited. It happen to me once so I change my plan to 10G/month. As I don't note down my online playing time...sometimes it can be almost all night playing online BF2. |

Guess that monthly changing of the ports is a waste of time then as well.... Anyhow, I only download at night and when Im at work so don't activley watch the progress, Though its usual for me to own new stuff when I get home from work and check in on it..... |

| 395720 | 2005-10-14 06:12:00 | I don't get the point of "unlimited" internet but with restrictions on p2p, when are you ever going to use that much data without p2p? | imarubberducky (7230) | ||
