Well, after insight upgraded there service in November, then they decided to start blocking torrents.  I have tried everything, and it is most definitly throtting, sad to say.  THIS SUCKS.

natatkinson welcome to the forum

i doubt they are packet shaping but to test use utorrent and turn on encryption, if it goes faster on a few different torrents then they are, if it is the same speed then they are not.

I have done that, I am using encryption and it has indeed increased speed, but I am still not back up to normal levels.  many people in my area have also felt the effect, so it is not just me.
