[ISPs that throttle/interfere with BitTorrent]

I feel that the ISP I'm using right now, pesatnet /id is throttling

bittorrent traffic. Since last 2 months I feel uncomfortable to run

torrent on this ISP. Things that happened :

- They (maybe) limit the speed to each peer. The connection to each

peer never more than 1 kBps. This makes the overall speed become

very low. I'm sure that it happened not because of improper setting

of my torrent. I'm using the same setting since 4 months ago and

it worked well before.

- A strange phenomenon : The connection to my ISP is automatically

terminated when I run a torrent! I have to restart the receiver

manually to reconnect again. This makes me impossible to start a

torrent and just leave it to be finished. After few times (sometimes

directly, sometimes after few seconds / minutes) the connection

is surely terminated. I don't know what have they done, but I feel that

they must be doing 'something' to torrent traffic.

I'm not sure if it is throttling or not (because I don't know how to

proof). I just want to share my experience and maybe become consideration

before choosing this ISP.

What do you think?

An ISP in Indonesia named Alucionet is throttling torrent. They limit the speed very low. This is the quote of an email I received from them :

Right now, we limit the P2P traffic :

07.00 am - 05.00 pm : up to 50 kbps max

05.00 pm - 10.00 pm : up to 100 kbps max

10.00 pm - 12.00 pm : up to 150 kbps max

12.00 pm - 07.00 am : up to 280 kbps max

I'm using their 384 kbps product, and I'll change my ISP ASAP. For you who stay in Indonesia, don't ever try this ISP. You'll just given disappointment by them.
