| | Posted: | | | | (English) 09:30AM Monday Mar 24 2008 by KarlUsers of the Canadian family-run ISP Teksavvy (which we profiled last year) have started noticing that Bell Canada is throttling traffic before it reaches wholesale partners. According to Teksavvy CEO Rocky Gaudrault, Bell has implemented "load balancing" to "manage bandwidth demand" during peak congestion times -- but apparently didn't feel the need to inform partner ISPs or customers. The result is a bevy of annoyed customers and carriers across the great white north (Dutch) Canadese provider knijpt p2p ook op doorverkochte lijnen afDoor Arie Jan Stapel, woensdag 26 maart 2008 09:27 Canadese ISP knijpt p2p op wholesalelijnen afWoensdag 26 maart 2008, 14:30 - Kleine Canadese ISP's zijn woedend op wholesaleprovider Bell Sympatico, die het p2p-verkeer op door hun geëxploiteerde lijnen blijkt af te knijpen. | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

| | Posted: | | | | Bad ISPsThe following is a list of Internet service providers (ISPs) that are known to cause trouble for BitTorrent clients or other P2P clients and the reason why. If you are using one of the following ISPs, please consider finding a new, better one. If your ISP is not on the list and you have reason to believe they are shaping traffic, come to the IRC channel and tell the OPs so that they can add it to the list. However, before you do that, please ensure that you have read about good settings and NAT problems. One of the biggest problems are providers that that perform traffic shaping on P2P protocols, see Avoid traffic shaping for advice on how to counter that. You'll need that if your ISP is listed with an encryption level greater than 0 or a question mark.
