The Australian ISP Exetel decided to cut the available bandwidth for P2P traffic in half from noon to midnight. This move will save Exetel about 45.000 US dollars per month, while it only takes $75.000 dollar to implement the bandwidth throttling mechanisms.
Exetel noticed that the percentage of P2P traffic is relatively high relative to the rest of the traffic on their network. To counter the increasing cost that are involved with the rise in P2P traffic they decided that it would be “better for everyone” if they cut the available bandwidth in half.
If ISPs are thinking this, then lets start our own “cult” ISP that increases bandwidth from noon to midnight

why would you want high speed if you don’t P2P
if it was for web browsing a dail up or 64 ADSL is great
i wouldn’t be needing a 512 or 1 MB if they shut down p2p
ISPs in Kuwait would be too lazy to figure out how to use their current equipment to throttle at P2P leave, and then there is Torrents which operate on a different level. In the states it would be illegal to single that out, and a lot Civil Rights agencies would go nuts on em!
ay civil rights
where is the civil rights with my isp?
they banned downloading .torrent files all together!!!
If Kuwaiti ISPs want to save money (and make their customers happy). They should create a unlimited bandwidth network within Kuwait. People will be trading within kuwait to gain faster speeds. It would only cost them the amount to interconnect the isps and beef up the data network; that money could come from the bandwidth cost they are saving.
yeah K but that would be smart
