Electric Plant Board , EPB , in Glasgow, ky throttles, even having trouble with my xbox 360 live connection trying to play games and watching netflix movies through the pc and especially through the 360. My connection is for 1.5Mbs and I used to dl around 180kbs, now I get 30 for dl and around 10kbs for upload. Had a headache of a time trying to find out the exact problem, even ran some online programs to check to see if my isp is throttling, all said my isp wasn't. i double checked port-forwarding, static and dhcp setups, nothing ever changed anything. I especially had trouble with xbox live lately so I called to ask them about it. I told them sometimes me and my friend share files through various programs, personal family videos, camping, hunting, fishing, etc.. and lately we've been having trouble blah blah,,,,,,,,, then told them I had also been having trouble with my xbox 360 live connection and netflix and asked if they were throttling and told them I could understand a little throttling or else everyone would be dl'ing all the time,,,, overall their throttling did help to let both pc's dl and surf and the 360 to dl or view netflix smoothly ( I know, I can adjust these same things through my router but this way it was already done for me) 30kbs dl cap kept everything separate, independent and smooth, maybe i'ld like everything opened up so I could then tweak the router, but I've gotta say I'm content with the way things are, for the most part, alternative being, they turn off their throttling and either my programs interfere with my online matches, maybe router tweaks or not, or the other ~20 thousand customers' , just at this bottom point, p2p programs wreak havoc with my online gaming. I'm not a big gamer and I'm not a big downloader. I sometimes gotta wonder if the internet has given everyone OCD when it comes to dl'ing/collecting/hoarding. It would be nice if everyone would take a serious 2nd look at their dl lists and ask yourself if you're really even going to watch/play/listen to whatever file. At least try a sample or demo first, chances are the sample or demo lasts longer than your interest in the file. Anyway, lol, gave a briefer than the above and slightly diff't reason for calling than the one above. I told them I was mostly concerned about my xbox 360 live connection and watching netflix movies on the 360 through xbox live and asked them if they were throttling, right away I was put on hold then talked to an older guy. He seemed pretty cool. I simpy asked if he was throttling and if there was any chance of xbox live getting throttled somehow. He admitted to throttling certain p2p programs,,,,( so there's something to start with),,,,, but that Xbox Live should not be affected and he said he would check on it. Briefly made small talk about trying another modem, bringing it in to get checked out blah blah and that was it.
