Last month I had fair usage policy, but full speed in both HTTP and P2P before FUP. This month no FUP till now. HTTP still full, but P2P goes to around 80 KB/s from 11 am to 11 pm. I know this because at exactly 11 pm, the speed jumps.

i would love to interview the customer support guy who interacted with you!

seems they are blocking torrents, or multiple connections to one computer, essentially blocking some of your ports indirectly. direct downloads takes place from one server so no blocking takes place. it also looks like theres a software on the server that does this have fun complaining

warthog, were speeds low on torrents only, but full on HTTP downloads? And what exactly did you say to the CC guy?

 

[warthog]

they were initially in p2p then on http also.I told them that airtel had tied up with a company to provide traffic shaping and they acted dumb.anyways my problem has been solved.you should file an RTI to trai asking about their policies on bandwidth throttling.since airtel is a private company i think RTI does not apply to them but many times CIC has ruled in favour of the aggrieved party seeking private info.also the link which i provided,plz do click it.My ports were ok,no traffic shaping and the only problem which i was told is noise.my upstream snr is 6 also airtel states that they dont guarantee p2p speeds even though they are secretly throttling them.

 

[hplp20]

You specifically told them that P2P speeds were low?

Looks like I get full speed from 11pm to 11 am. How much do you use every month?

True. The speed resumes during the nights. It seems they are throttling only during the day time.
