    Yup, local node traffic/loading seems to make a huge difference with Comcast. At my parent's house I get ~5.5Mbit, and everyone in the neighborhood is on cable modems.

        Encrypted or not, it still looks like BT traffic, and can be traffic-shaped.

          Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

            First test gave d/l less than u/l.

                Rogers. Hard to complain about something you don't pay for though. My wife's employer pays for it.

                  Yup, I have encryption on, with the strictest settings, and it still crawls. If I change ports, it fires up wicked fast for a few seconds, then slows right down.
