Vodafone intense traffic shaping/throttling

lmimmfn

So has anyone else noticed this? in the past 2 months( tbh i think its the past 3 weeks but was on vacation ), VF seem to have implemented intense traffic shaping/profiling.

Previously when i was on 50mbit( before vectoring ), everything was constant, i.e got ~5megabyte per second across multiple protocols/classifications now:
Torrents : Download any linux iso over torrents -> getting around 360k a second
HTTP : The same, about 360k per second, even less most of the time.
Steam -> looks ok, get 10Mbyte per second, guess they havnt copped that yet.
Youtube -> ok
FTP -> 1 megabyte/sec - Throttled.
Most situations are run something like torrents, quit it and run speed test straight afterwards, 5 mins later speedtest is back to 80+mbit/sec

Seriously my main uses are downloading Oculus stuff on http and Linux ISO's over ftp/sftp or http and this is bloody useless. Do Eircom have the same traffic shaping policies?

Pull an ISO from HEANET mirrors and see what speeds you get. This could be further out than your ISP.

nothing wrong with torrents on vodafone, no rate limiting, nothing. thats a 45mb connection maxing out

An old thread... but noticed this tonight on vodafone fibre - anyone else getting throttled on torrents with them? Downloading an ISO from Heanet i'm still getting a good 4mb's a second but only about 250 kb/s combined on uTorrent

Try downloading this free Linux torrent and see what speeds you get: http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrent-details&id=66fc47bf95d1aa5eca358f12c70af3ba5c7e8f9a

It's maxing out my 45Mb (usually 50Mb) connection, so there' enough speeds.

Scratch that, there was some issue with my torrent client. Reinstalled and working fine now
