ok, we just got verizon FIOS today..
i was using it, and it was working great, real fast, etc..
then it just started acting wierd,, it would have a huge delay and then just load a page.. stuff like that.. i was uploading a movie to my website to test the speed.. (it was averaging 160kb/s btw)
so then that gets done, and the internet is still acting wierd..
i close bitcomet, and it works great.. so now when i open bitcomet and start even 1 file, the internet just chokes off.. most pages time out. some go through..
i have tried opening bitcomet several times and starting 1 file, or a few, or many.. and i get the same result every time..
so, does verizon really do something to throttle back the speed if they detect something they don't like?
there are many legal uses for bittorrent first of all.. and 2nd of all the global upload rate is set to 20kb/s..
could they do it based on too many concurrent connections or something?
or is something else going on that i just don't realize
thanks
