According to the result, My Time Warner ISP does NOT throttle my bandwidth. So I guess that's very interesting. I remember reading or hearing a long time ago that ISP's will "throttle" the bandwidth of customers with "basic" accounts, and not touch the bandwidth of premium users.

I don't think so...your apartment building has to be wired for it. and mine is definitely not. While fios is in manhattan, it is only in certain places or buildings.

I guess I could always go DSL, but yuck.

Good luck using it.

Talk about being throttled.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Check if Your ISP is Throttling Your BitTorrent Traffic]]> There's an even easier way. Look at your cable bill. If the return address is Comcast, you're being throttled.

OMG! Ponies!

]]> <![CDATA[How to Check if Your ISP is Throttling Your BitTorrent Traffic]]> Oh goddammit Giz, you've crashed the server over at Max Planck. Now I'll never know if I'm being screwed...

]]> <![CDATA[How to Check if Your ISP is Throttling Your BitTorrent Traffic]]> The shitty thing about living in manhattan is that you don't really have many options when it comes to ISPs, so even if Time Warner was restricting, there isn't much i could do :(

]]> <![CDATA[How to Check if Your ISP is Throttling Your BitTorrent Traffic]]> Useful tool though, will check it out at home and give the IO determination.

I have my pitchfork and torch at the ready.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Check if Your ISP is Throttling Your BitTorrent Traffic]]> @adamgamble: They should mirror or give out the source to the test, would be real nice and help their server from being hammered so much.

Shawn_K

]]> <![CDATA[How to Check if Your ISP is Throttling Your BitTorrent Traffic]]> No workie for me either. It will be nice to see if Charter is throttling though.

adamgamble

]]> <![CDATA[How to Check if Your ISP is Throttling Your BitTorrent Traffic]]> Hmm, seems the server must be quite hammered at the moment, wont load.
