    Was with them from months and they are the worst provider.
    I currently have BT where I rent and Digiweb at home and they are far far better with no blocked ports and provide broadband speeds.

    Clearwire block P2P traffic to keep there bandwidth levels low.
    They are scum to the 10th degree and I still cant believe they are still up and running

    How about digiweb do they block ports aswell? I've moved house and my contract with CW is up...

    It does not matter about moving house even if your contract is up .....they will still send debt collectors after you.

    digiweb do not block anything , some mobile operators do on their 3g packages though

    I'm paid up to date so i can cancel it, grand digiweb it is. I worked for vodafone and used the usb and hsdpa datacard and got great speeds on it and downloaded about 5GB a day for 2 months then i left and only had clearwire!!

    I posted an exact quote from a Clearwire support rep in a thread a little while ago. He stated that Clearwire do not block any ports or any type of traffic, but continuous use of the network was against their Terms of Service.

    But as data is sent it packets there is space between those packets... therefore its not continuous! cheeky beggars

    I'm curious would encrypted bittorrent traffic using non-default ports work on Clearwire, anyone tried it?

    In view of their admitted mindboggling incompetence in sending the names of paid up customers to debt collectors anyone leaving Clearwire would be well advised to get it in writing from them that they are fully paid up and that the terms of the contract have been honoured.

    bittorrent is legal software.

    its used by a lot of linux distros to distribute their software.
    and many other companies.

    It just also happens that other things get downloaded in the bittorrent format :)

    ah, I am one of "The Mods" :D
    Bittorrent isn't illegal, what you download with it can be though, the same as http traffic at the end of the day :)

    "Decent" traffic shaping software doesn't care which ports are used, nor if the traffic is encrypted.

    Unless the "encryption" is the hidden message in plain text. Like the secret message that is every Nth character in an inoculous message or image file, where N need not be a constant. Such secret messages have been used for about 5,000 to 7,000 years (They still occasionally find them in ancient texts!)

    I do Know that bittorrent is not illegal but last time some one brought up methods of how to by pass clear****es blockage of it the mods were nt happy.

    Second that comment of written prove of the disconnection they re trying to stick me with a bill now after a year

    have a look into rapidshare and what that means. Can't say much more really if i want to stay on this fourm. its all port 80 traffic and leaves p2p and torrents in its dust but as i said have a good look into what rapidshare means as a whole

    ps if you do start using i would advise opera as your browser of choise and forget DLAs

    rapidshare is crap unless you pay for it.

    plus your limited to 1 download per hour and so many gb's per day for free use.

    Download speeds can be goo though.

    rapid share is decent enough. to get rid of the 1 download per hour, log into router and reset it to get a different ip each time.
