Internet service providers to act against online piracy by reducing bandwidth
temuchin:
for a while i have been using seed-boxes and downloading from there via SFTP.
Proin Drakenzol:
So ISPs are flat out stating that they're either violating your privacy or reducing service on base suspicion without any sort of evidence.
So either way they'll be violating something.
I smell a lawsuit in the making.

I have a 10Mb down with 1Mb up. uTorrent shows my downloads can sustain 1.2MB down and 120kB up. Anyway, I have been hitting the net pretty hard for the past few days since I have been on vacation and have yet to see my speeds drop. I can't wait to see my total monthly usage because Suddenlink believes that 43 Gigabytes is the amount that I should use, I can account for 20+ on Xbox Live and Youtube alone.

43 is your cap?

Unfortunately brudda, it'd be hard to sue them. Not that they shouldn't be, they should, but the government is retarded when it comes to the magical internet! Companies can employ dirty tricks to almost do whatever they want at the moment, and the only people that should have a "problem" with them are the bad guys AKA p2p users... All the company will do upon a grievance is point at the fake smoking gun, and discredit the person arguing because they must have done something wrong to begin with.
That's why we should build our own internet instead, with blackjack and hookers! In fact screw the internet!
