The first ISP to act is Globe telecoms. They limited p2p bandwidth.They limited torrent downloads allowing only 20% of the plan's speed. They are also capping the bandwidth. This is a 2009 post.

If people didn't need to download, most people would be happy with dialup speeds. Some will get it for YouTube, some for their internet cafe but the majority of people who get broadband I am sure get it for downloading. If ISPs tried to curb this "problem" they'd be losing a lot of subscribers. Frankly, the reason people in the Philippines get Broadband in the first place is to download stuff — i.e. P2P.

All these downloads that people would like to keep would require more than the 750MB that Seagate offers. How about a 1TB HDD. I think it's about time.

Viewing a handful of web pages is still much smaller compared to a single MP3, size-wise. And I don't think bandwidth capping will be implemented locally, except for extreme cases. Torrents will likely be filtered and given low priority, though encrypted torrents render these measures useless. File-sharing will always be here to stay and the telco industry have no choice but to grow in the same path.

Local ISPs can't even provide consistent speeds/uptimes and proper customer support, doing so would only completely alienate future subscribers and really piss off those of us already with them. I think I speak for everyone when I say, keep our net access free from any sort of capping please. Speed and download caps?

I'm using utorrent so i can't confirm this feature. But if this would be truly functioning, then we connect more locally with other hosts within our ISP thus reducing their international traffic.

I also noticed an increase in Pinoy torrent trackers in the recent months. Try searching for "Tagalog" or "Pinoy" at your favorite torrent sites. The figures will definitely go higher.

A lot of outsourcing workers are using their office Internet to download torrents. Home connections are too slow for bittorent anyway. One movie will take you several days.

mawawalan na ng subscribers ang smartbro-ken dahil rin sa BULOK na connection nila and also naglalabasan na maraming wireless ngayun like globe.

yung mga nagbabalak magpakabit dyan. wag kayong magpapaniwala sa TV Advertisement ng smartBro-ken na “faster than dial-up” daw mali yung ads nila baka baliktad “YOU SURF LIKE A DIAL-UP” like me magsisi kayo ng 1yr bakit kayo nagpakabit ng smartbro-ken.

ako karin kapag nakabit na yung myDSL ko ibabalibag ko yung antenna smartbro-ken ko sa smart wireless center.

For example, PLDT will never know about Globe's stats, and vice versa. Perhaps he speaks about one particular company. Or only one particular service within that company.
