[edit] Venezuelan ISPs
I must say that in Venezuela there are two other ISPs blocking torrent access and many downloads in general. those would Digitel or better known by their Bam 3g service and movistar telefonica, new 3.5g connection.
[edit] United Kingdom ISPs
Can anybody find the information for more United Kingdom ISPs blocking BitTorrent or limiting its bandwidth? BT Broadband one would be good. Thanks. --13:50, 1 April 2006 (GMT)
Have just added Elipse to bad isp list. Their tech support confirmed use of traffic shaping. My friend uses Tiscali and they don't block at the moment. 11/8/06
[edit] List Order
Do you think it would be a good idea to organize these ISPs alphabetically or by country? Is there a reason they're in the current order, or is it just that they were added as people discovered them? --culix 19:12, 22 September 2006 (GMT)
- They're just listed in the order they've been added... or sometimes randomly. Ordering them by country (1 table per country, if there are multiple "bad" ISPs in one country) and then by name would be the most useful combination i'd say. --The8472 21:45, 22 September 2006 (GMT)
- I second The8472's statement and personally I'd like to know how this information was retrieved about a provider because personally I don't know that well how I could fill in one complete row about my provider... --SoN 21:56, 22 September 2006 (GMT)
- I've rearranged into country order, separate tables per country. If someone else wants to sort the ISPs within each country, go ahead. I did think about a single table with some sort of sub-heading row for each country, but that looked like it would be harder to navigate. I didn't change any of the table content, even where it leads to inconsistencies (e.g. some UK ISPs are labelled GB instead of UK).
- Another thought - the country ordering is English-centric. Is it worth sorting by the name in the language of that country (i.e. Espana / Spain would be under E, not S), at least for those countries using the Roman alphabet? Or is that a bit excessive? -- Paddles 14:54, 25 April 2007 (GMT)
[edit] Suggestion for new columns
Hi, I'd like to suggest three new columns for the tables: "Limits total bandwidth when Bittorrent is running" (as per NET Virtua Brazil), "Offers plan without restrictions" (as per NET Virtua Brazil) and "Throttles utilizing an unusual scheme" (as per GVT, Brazil). --dingo 16:51, 12 July 2007 (GMT)
[edit] Getting this information
Is there a method for getting the information for this information? A source? I'd like to add some ISPs in my country, but I have no idea how/where to get information from. Reuvenk 16:02, 7 February 2008 (GMT)
- This is generally gathered through tests by users and a few broadband related forums. --The8472 10:54, 8 February 2008 (GMT)
[edit] user suggestion about yes/no templates
quote:
"yes" should be red, and the "no" green, as no is good and yes is bad..

[edit] [UK] VirginMedia
VirginMedia is listed here as throttling BitTorrent speeds and a link is provided to their traffic management page. This page makes it perfectly clear they do not throttle BitTorrent specifically. They simply slow speeds for all types of traffic for heavy users. The article suggests encryption, but this would be ineffective as all protocols are throttled equally. I have therefore altered the VirginMedia entry and suggest it should be removed entirely. Hello123 16:18, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Partner's throttle for Bell
As DSL is through the phone lines, technically if Bell is throttling, so is any DSL company, i use Teksavvy, and am being throttled for sure.
[edit] Barak 013/Netvision
i believe they need to be put for yes in the bit torrent limiting. i actually just switched to 014 because of this and they do not do this.
both where proven multiple time at glasnost
