I'm just about convinced they're filtering torrent traffic.

The general torrent population hasn't picked up on it, apparently.

Try uTorrent, you can encrypt traffic, thus bypassing throttling.

This doesn't surprise me at all.  :blah:
You're surprised? They're a telecom company, FFS! :doubt:

Never mind, I should read more carefully.

So what else is new? AT&T always finds ways to make their customers suffer.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

the philosophy that the customer is always right has been replaced by the saying" **** you and give me your money"
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

And keep them from switching to other companies.

That will soon change with the iPhone. Some guy figured out how to make his work with other carriers, and posted the instructions on the net. They're gone now, but chances are they're buried somewhere.

I thought they had it cracked no more than a few weeks after release.
