Default [INQ] Comcast Throttling

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/...up-and-running

Quote:
Its network throttling implements a two-tier packet queueing system at the routers, driven by two trigger conditions.

Comcast's first traffic throttling trigger is tripped by using more than 70 per cent of your maximum downstream or upstream bandwidth for more than 15 minutes.

Its second traffic throttling trigger is tripped when the Cable Modem Termination System you're hooked-up to – along with up to 15,000 other Comcast subscribers – gets congested, and your traffic is somehow identified as being responsible.

Tripping either of Comcast's high bandwidth usage rate triggers results in throttling for at least 15 minutes, or until your average bandwidth utilisation rate drops below 50 per cent for 15 minutes.
Make sure you set your QoS to 65%....

I get throttled for about 14 hours of the day.
From 20mb down to 2mb.. Comcast customers have it easy.

How accurate is their detection? Say you're watching a streaming Netflix movie...it peaks your connection for a couple of minutes, then drops off, then picks back up as the buffer empties. Is this enough to get you throttled?

It's retarded either way. The web is requiring more bandwidth every day, and clowns like these decide now is the time to restrict it?

It's time for people to start shopping for smaller ISP's. My wireless isn't the fastest (1 meg both ways), and it's relatively expensive ($50/month), but I could leave utorrent open all day every day with a massive seed/dl list and my ISP wouldn't do a thing about it. They actually advertise unlimited usage, and they stand by it. Tell Comcast/Time Warner/Charter to take a hike, and vote with your wallet.

Yeah, sounds exactly right, I've been noticing this for a while. Downloads are usually fast for a few minutes, and then slow down drastically.
