BitTorrent speeds "anti-throttled"??

This is a test to determine if you're being trottled by your isp. The funny thing is all bitTorrent activity actually came back FASTER and the only decrase in speed was actually on NON bittorrent. Rather odd if you ask me. I'm on eircom.

Is BitTorrent traffic on a well-known BitTorrent port (6883) throttled?

The BitTorrent upload (seeding) worked. Our tool was successful in uploading data using the BitTorrent protocol.
There's no indication that your ISP rate limits your BitTorrent uploads. In our tests a TCP upload achieved at least 97 Kbps while a BitTorrent upload achieved at most 115 Kbps. You can find details here.
The BitTorrent download worked. Our tool was successful in downloading data using the BitTorrent protocol.
There's no indication that your ISP rate limits your BitTorrent downloads. In our tests a TCP download achieved at least 275 Kbps while a BitTorrent download achieved at most 847 Kbps. You can find details here.

Is BitTorrent traffic on a non-standard BitTorrent port (10011) throttled?

The BitTorrent upload (seeding) worked. Our tool was successful in uploading data using the BitTorrent protocol.
There's no indication that your ISP rate limits your BitTorrent uploads. In our tests a TCP download achieved at least 81 Kbps while a BitTorrent download achieved at most 159 Kbps. You can find detailshere.
The BitTorrent download worked. Our tool was successful in downloading data using the BitTorrent protocol.
There's no indication that your ISP rate limits your BitTorrent downloads. In our tests a TCP download achieved at least 379 Kbps while a BitTorrent download achieved at most 1053 Kbps. You can find details here.

Is TCP traffic on a well-known BitTorrent port (6883) throttled?

There's no indication that your ISP rate limits all downloads at port 6883. In our test, a TCP download on a BitTorrent port achieved at least 1258 Kbps while a TCP download on a non-BitTorrent port achieved at least 379 Kbps. You can find details here.
There's no indication that your ISP rate limits all uploads at port 6883. In our test, a TCP upload on a BitTorrent port achieved at least 209 Kbps while a TCP upload on a non-BitTorrent port achieved at least 81 Kbps. You can find details here.

I would like to point out that even though there is widespread suspicion of ISP's throttling connections it does state in nearly all broadband products terms and conditions that they are entitled to change,edit,constrain,administer etc, the afore mentioned product in any way they see fit in order to maintain the network infrastructure and or majority customer use.

Lay mans terms .... They are the people who hold all the rights to change any part or your NON ADVERTISED broadband aspects without prior notice.
A typical broadband package is sold and purchased on a number of items... Average line speed as determend by speedtests and defined as "download speed", Usage cap limitations per month and price relevant to all three aspects.

These three main sales points are the backbone of the agreement but "lesser" or less known line aspects i.e torrent speeds etc are not deemed main selling points and the administration of these type aspects are completely under the ISP's discretion.

Ultimatly even if they are throtlling a connection or not the customer has agreed to let them do this by signing with them wether the T&C's were read or not. Never sign anything without reading the small print.


Eircoms broadband terms and conditions....

If you had bothered to read my post you would have realised it was the OPPOSITE to throttling. Speeds were FASTER on bittorrent protocols. Great references although not really useful.
I ain't complaining i'm ****ing delighted
