So Rogers has lost me as a customer...

[Amos H. Weatherill]

Hello, Everyone.

I just wanted to mention that Rogers seems to be severely capping
P2P application bandwidth on their network.  When I run P2P apps
(eMule, BitTorrent, Etc...) My upload bandwidth is normal for about
3 minutes, then Rogers' traffic shaping kicks in.

This is what has me looking for another provider, not overall
line speeds.  for downloading from HTTP and FTP Rogers is great.

Well it was 5Mbit when I signed up a year ago.  I haven't noticed the
speed change ever.  I still get 500 - 600KB/s downloads from some sites,
so that seems like the rights speed to me.  Having never seen over
600KB/s I doubt it is 6Mbit/s.  Maybe they changed it recently.

Too bad it costs so much, won't let me run servers, won't let me have a
real static ip, etc...
