For better or worse, I'm usually pushing in excess of 50GB of traffic (combined up and down) a week on average. I can safely say that BT is not being "throttled" by Cox. Maybe on the default ports. could be handy when they roll out the new shaping policy. -Joe Sharkscott wrote: Check

I only use Cox for the net, and I have to say, coming from the Chicago area and dealing with Comcast, Cox is exponentially better. It's great being able to use bittorrent again and actually download things over HTTP at speeds worth paying $50-60/mo for. You guys bitch a lot about Cox, and I can

I think the problem Cox is trying to address is inherent in their technology, namely that customers share bandwidth. DSL doesn't have this issue (DSL has finer grained control). That's my understanding at any rate. Sharkscott wrote: > I agree Shawn, I like your idea, I don't download THAT much,
