Users complaining about "weak and random" upload speeds, though for the time being is apparently limited to certain markets and P2P protocols.
Much has been discussed about how Comcast has been throttling BitTorrent traffic, but now it seems the problem is spreading to other ISPs, which in this case is Cox Communications.

I have noticed this in the past couple weeks whenever I (sporadically) run eMule. Upload queue is empty. Might upload to one person every once in a while. Other than that, nada. Guess it's time to move to Verizon FiOS before they start throttling BT uploads and f***ing up my ratios.

More and more ISP's will start doing this. Theyre sorta up against a wall. If its known that the ISP's can halt P2P traffic the law will try to force them to do so, even if it slows down legit traffic too.

I myself will buy the cheapest service my ISP has the day they start to throttle me. I advise everyone who is effected to do that too.

I agreed, Mels. If more ISPs does it, it would affect a lot of people! We paying for our bandwidth monthly, time to keep our eyes close on our Internet service.
