Hey all, Im the news editor for Zeropaid.com, a P2P, file-sharing website and am doing an article on this development with TM Net.

Exetel, an Australian ISP, did this previously, cutting P2P speeds in halb from Noon to Midnight, for the same reason supposedly but looks as though will be permanent.

Any comments I an use for my article would be appreciated, like how different your speeds are now and anything you may know as to what's going on . THX

Whats you'r normal connection speed? One guy makes it seem that he's got maybe 10% of what he once had, from 100kbs to now like 10kbs, is this really true?

Just finished up a story on this throttling by TM Net, we in the P2P community have to stick togther. Exetel already started throttling its Australian customers, before you know it all the ISPs may follow suit.

Anyways, read the story and be sure to Digg It!! if you dig it.

Yah thats a weird one, its called "Mrs. Giggles" but she makes the same point about her connection speeds being drastically reduced as well.

Yah, noticed that, I fixed it.....sorry. Used to simpler names like Steve Jobs or JAck Thompson. Malaysian names are a bit trickier to keep straight in my head

no prob....just wanted to get your guy's mesage out....I wont brag and say what my connection speeds are right now but, if I was getting 10kbs or less I'd be fuming...

Just all you guys remember to Digg the story and comment on it so it can make the Digg Homepage and get your message out, then you are guaranteed to have tons of people hear and read about your plight and hopefully put pressure on TM Net to get its act together...

Its like Hornet said, its the guys using P2P software who are the ones causing the demand for the fast connections in the first place.
