Unlike a cable or DSL connection, your satellite-based connection uses
shared bandwidth, such that the number of users currently connected to the
system can affect speeds. One may in which Xplornet (and many other ISPs)
works to combat this is by limiting the type of traffic being sent over the
network, and this is done by assigning lower priority to torrent and
peer-to-peer traffic.

There are not to many things that we could do about this issue, you could
upgrade your package again and try that out, but other then that there is
not to many things you could do.

Our server is setup to limit this type of traffic because it is hard on
bandwidth,You should be able to download things, but file sharing programs
may be interfered with your speed downloading.


I got _ucked big time.

No other ISP in area

What to do..??
