Tata Photon Plus blocking torrents and file sharing sites

[udit chauhan]

Hey Guys, i've bought tata photon plus (prepaid) :wink: and i am having problem that torrent (or any other client) isn't working under photon connection and hence, utorrent/bittorrent is not downloading anything. My photon is working properly :thumb: , can surf at gud speed :dance: (i.e. around 80kbps) but it doesn't allowing torrent to download via torrent file. :isorryLZ, help, somebody.Do i've to format my PC.?

I have been using photon plus in chennai for quite a while and since I live far outside city,photon plus is the only option,I use photon plus 120 hours per month plan and use the internet mainly in very early mornings when I get good speeds,

this is the speed I got at 4.40pm today afternoon which is decent but the problem is from today morning my speed with any torrent is as low as 8kBps average(kilobytes) same speed I am getting with hotfile premium and mediafire account as well,whereas speedtest and other servers like filesonic premium kept giving above 150-180kBps
even with 60 seeds with 10% leechers on private torrents I am getting 7-10kBPS where as I usually get 230kBps in early mornings ,now my question is why suddenly hotfile,mediafire and torrents are so low where as filesonic,fileserve etc are still ok?the speed difference is ust too much to digest,can anyone please tell me if it is an intentional block from tata?they refused though when I called th Cc

look at the torrent speed I am getting

and this is with a server that I hardly use,but it is giving correct speed

and this is with HOTFILE premium that never gave me less than 140kBps earlier in peak time

and this is with mediafire which also gives me close to 230kBps lot of the times and never under 130kBps

how can it be that only the servers I use often are giving the lowest speed and others that I do not need much are fine?????

please anyone facing similar issues?it is the second day and I am still stuck with torrents at 8kBps,hotfile mediafire at 8kBps but others at 175kBps

thanks for the link!but it shows NOISE but no major blockage

I have tried everything and now it is sure that it is TATA who is cheating and putting blockage in traffic,there is no other way by which only particular servers are blocked,from changing pcs to uninstalling all AV and firewalls I have done all,but the conn worked normally only twice in 4 days for half an hour each....just goes to show it is all in TATA's hands....all chennai users are warned that it can happen to you too...paying 1000 rs per month ,getting 1.5mbps on speedtest.net and ending up surfing only google for 120 hours a month.I am soon going to dump it and make sure all my 4-5 friends who are strugling in this area to dump it as well

I am also facing the same problem in Hyderabad. I called the customer service but they are denying that they have capped the speeds. What to do now?

photon plus has started blocking hotfile,mediafire,link-removed,link-removed,all torrents in south india and it is spreading,I have been facing prob for 2-3 weeks now and one tata cc employee went on to say and agree that Tata indeed is intentionally doing it,so do not expect it to get better now,it will be the end for tata soon from my side and I will make sure I get rid of atleast 50 other tata users...I have successfully done 3 already and 4th will be me as soon as I get airtel
