You said that you went over this with your IT guys, if so I am surprised they have not mentioned P2P throttling.

You see, more and more ISPs from all over the world are introducing P2P throttling (aka bandwidth shaping), this technology allows all internet traffic except P2P, which is heavily restricted. The amount of restriction is entirely up to the ISP concerned and their own internal policy.

And basically what it worse, ISPs still advertise unlimited usage but do not tell their customers when they introduce anti-P2P measures, one day you can download anything without any problems the next day you can't download anything off the gnutella network, and that is first you know about P2P throttling.

You know, when an ISP I used to use started P2P throttling they would not even admit it, I had to find out from an internet article that my ISP (Virgin at the time) had introduced bandwidth shaping. So I left them and joined another ISP, which has now been taken over by "Pipex" who also have an anti-P2P policy.

Anyway, who is your ISP?
