Oberon89 is flying high
Default I have got somewhere......

OK I now know what has been going on our ISP Restricts P2P even on our business line ! apparently p2p is not a business application and so we are not allowed to use it !!!!!
This restriction entails data packet analysis which sounds like we watch everything and chock it if it seems to be p2p ?? I wonder if this is why file sharing, and other application may not be working well p2p could be the new "Broadcast medium" so I'm a bit confused as to why p2p is not "busines" related.
We have a Business Max package and a 1:1 contention on our line but apparently the policy is part of our ISP's
fair use policy so that other users bandwidth is not restricted ??? My question is what other users ???? Could this explain slow line speed ???
Does anyone else know of a business conection where serviuces are restricted ?? please keep in mind we pay over £50 a month for our line.
I think I am being taken for a ride but will see what they say before I blow the whistle on them, I have asked for an unrestricted line as one would expect from a business Max package with 1:1 contention......
I'll keep you all posted......
