Is anybody else getting multiple duplicates of this particular thread?
Anyway...
Just this past holiday week I was able to download a 2GB file via bittorrent
using a Smart BRO LTE USB stick with a prepaid LTE sim. It took less than two
hours. No throttling experienced here. Also from experience, Globe throttles
your *entire* connection when it detects high P2P traffic, but not PLDT/Smart.
I'll try to test PLDT DSL again when I get back to the office. Maybe they're
testing out new network traffic management gears.

I am no networking expert but according to the local forums PLDT has some
issues with one of the international undersea cables. If torrents work on an
encrypted connection the rumours may be true that throttling is occuring.
