oh i see Ill test out teksavvy after we moved. I envy japanese ppl they enjoy FTTH while not paying that high. Ive read somewhere that they only pay 50$++ for a gigabit of connection.


This is for rogers users. If your using bt clients use higher ports like 50500 to somehow allow higher download speeds. This might not apply to all but it works for me . Just sharing. Well also try non-rogers users, maybe it will work.

I didn't look into it too much since Telus doesn't throttle P2P here in Alberta, but for those of you in Ontario who have to put up with Bell and their throttling there is a workaround - something to do with flashing the firmware on your router.

If you're interested check out the teksavvy forum over at www.dslreports.com to find out how.
yes I am aware of this however my router is not capable using that firmware as I have a netgesr and I believe it is for linksys (crap)

This is for bell users:

Set your bittorrent port to TCP/1723, and put any DHT or tracking on UDP/500, UDP/50, UDP/51.

Usenet FTW :) Are there any ISPS in Ontario that don't have caps?
