Traffic shaping. Has your ISP started capping torrents yet?

Man wtf? I hit upper 700 on torrents and I've occasionally broken the base 10 barrier. I'm on comcast, and I cannot complain... yet.

Ha, you suck. I easily get 1.4 mb/s.

I hadn't heard of traffic shaping before, gonna have to read up some...

Doubt that'll happen in sweden. Also, I'm extremely jealous of the internet provided there.

Yes i'm constantly reminded of their 100mb connections and polar bears walking the streets (yes some people believe both parts of that statement)

I cant complain too much about him , he's not a total douche and I notice little lag when we play games , I also notice the "fighters are awsome hints" he gives me when I find a new "oyg its a super powerful and expensive sword only fighters can use" in a gift box when I log on and go into my room... (note this is PSU) - edit

Mostly directed at demios, and mostly a joke (the attitude part).

Norway actually has polar bears walking the streets, on Svalbard.

That kind of blows; glad I'm not using prodigy infinitum. What ISP were you with before?

What would tenth base be? Sticking it in her ass while riding a rodeo bull?

Your guess is as good as mine... except not up the ass. It's really not my thing for some reason.

I notice some Linksys routers with imperfect firmware running QoS do that.
