    No need to be paranoid.

    Its a legitamite question that I asked breaking no laws.

    I'm curious about it and so are alot of other people to who want to have full internet access, and that includes bit torrent ,so an idea of who is traffic shaping is useful.

    This question has nothing to do with any company or research.

    And what is wrong with this question? How is it different from people posting their ISP's speed , ping or routing?

    Thanks

    PS Here are some more general tests testing your connection
