Just stumbled into this. Are they still throttling bandwidth on torrent downloads?

Go with Eastern, for me they are the best among the Telco’s here in the Philippines although i dont think they are as big as PLDT. But that can be an advantage as well, they can focus to every customer, unlike PLDT, if you just have an average plan, say, P3,000 a month, your after sales service support is snail slow. Two weeks without Internet? Sheez..

Am not sure it’s limited to bittorrent traffic only. I have a 3.x mbs connection but now I only get 400+ kbp in speed tests…

crap… kaya pala nangalahati yung speed ko. from 80Kbps per month for the first month naging 39Kbps na lang. sana di na nila mababaan pa. download addict kasi ako.

I am glad Im with Globe though I am not a heavy user of p2p.

Of course, since it’s a wiki, it’s entirely possible that Globe and Bayantel and other DSL/Cable ISPs are just not there yet when they should be.

We pldt dsl users don’t even get the bandwidth that we paid for. However, as long as I get my downloads done, I’m happy with it. hehe

Good thing for me I’m using dialup. They won’t care to throttle it down. ;D

BTW, I’m not surprised why PLDT is the Lousiest according to bittorent. Its the most well known DSL service in the country compared to Globe or Bayantel!

There are service abroad that has unlimited access to the net. It varies from country to country and most of the time its around 60USD a month.

The biggest challenge in the US, there are new laws that are being created to filter their DSL lines which means no access to Torrent Sites or any malicious site. AOL i think is one of those said companies..

I though Bayantel would be the lousiest in Manila hehehe being that it doesn’t have its own backbone. harhar

in the philippines, we pay for “bandwidth” but in other countries, there is an allocation of e.g. 12GB per month depending on the plan. in excess, either the user pays extra or the speed is throttled down. i think they are more upfront that way rather than a “pseudo” unlimited account that in reality, are throttled silently.

Yup, just on bittorent traffic only.

were you referring to bitorrent traffic only or all traffic when you mentioned “tolerance levels” ?
