Upload for Torrents always Throttled As proven before

Hi Borg100, thank you for your post.

We're really sorry to hear of your loss and that you intend to leave us over the issues you've outlined. 

In order to look into these issues for you further, we'll send you a private message on here. Look out for the envelope in the top right-hand corner.

If you're on a portable device with a smaller screen, click on the icon in the top right-hand corner and select "messages" from the additional menu options.

The only thing they're throttling is letters from copyright holders.

VM aren't going to boot you for it but certainly won't cry over losing you: you are losing them money with your usage and that's it's dodgy content rather than anything worthwhile is the icing on the poop cake. If you'd take thousands who feel similarly entitled on these sites with you couldn't be better for VM. Customer numbers may drop but profitability and customer satisfaction from the others will improve nicely.

Absolutely no 'throttling' here.

Probably related to traffic management in your area due to high subscription.

No sympathy here. If you cause problems for others you can't complain if you lose out yourself. 

He didn't say that, takes a few seconds to Google it. He talked about spreading awareness of one series that was heavily restricted in distribution. The idea people torrent then buy the BluRay is laughable.

If you don't like your VM service leave it and go elsewhere. If you aren't happy with the price leave. Free market and should be other options available. 

Either way they aren't throttling you. They literally don't have the equipment to throttle you on their network anymore. More likely either an issue with the Hub or with your kit. Given you don't have the money for content I imagine you don't have masses of extremely fast storage so it's quite possible there's a bottleneck on your side. 

They don't promise any upload speed at all on torrents or any other application, they promise it on their Realspeed test to the Hub.

I can only apologise for being an idiot. A pretty big insult from someone dumb enough to complain on their own ISP's forum about being unable to break copyright law and the terms of service at the speed you want. If the team actually read these posts that could've been problematic. Worth leaving out what the content is next time just in case someone conscious reads it. 

what is your actual speedtest results on samknows? o.0 you should post your hun stats you might not have the correct channels, setup a thinkbroadband monitor, can usually see quality of the line a bit better, if its congested, complain, 

if possible sign up as a new customer, its what I do :S

Likely be back with a new thread in late 2024 / early 2025 regarding throttling.

To save whomever is lucky enough to read the resident expert's next thread and receive their standard level of politeness and decorum I draw your attention to the sentence in the attached. No-one knows what they are talking about: back in 2020 VM were breaking the encryption on VPNs and throttling torrent traffic inside them. Couldn't have been the operator of the VPN shaping the traffic as many do when they get tired of people consuming tons of bandwidth, aren't many left that don't as bandwidth costs, it was VM.

VM do not do any protocol-specific throttling. If they did without updating the website to reflect it they would be in strife with the regulator. With the amount of data getting shifted now and how much of it is encrypted or obfuscated trying to shape isn't very effective, costs too much and often catches the wrong things.

The second paragraph here gives an idea why it may look as though Torrents are throttled: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Transport_Protocol because they are by the protocol to avoid breaking other applications. If there are other problems with the upstream MTP's job is to be conservative with bandwidth usage: it can and will perceive upstream problems with latency and loss as congestion and adjust accordingly.

Personally I'm very happy with torrents being slowed down, whatever the cause, if it stops other customers' service being degraded. 

Customers must be aware and, where existing customers, given the opportunity to leave due to terms and conditions changing to their detriment though.
