I am using Otenet and I recently get much higher speeds with torrents.

Are you using i-choice + Otenet or just Otenet?

This is what I get now from the server in London

was it constant all the time?

It was constant at around 400KB/s when I was making that download. But in general is not constant. At off peak hours I can get very good speeds but at peak hours it sucks. Now it is noon on Saturday and I get good speeds.



But also I noticed it depends on how I download. If I download somehting from a torrent then I get very high speeds. If I try to watch a movie from youtube for example is not good. I don't know... I guess they are testing things.

This is what I think they are doing: They gave to some people higher speeds. They are testing with giving 2.5Mbit or even 5Mbit. At not peak hours these people can use the maximum of their speed. At peak hours there is not enough bandwidth for all of us so the speeds suck.

now the download is crap again 



This morning at around 8:30 it was still good with about 2500Kbps but now I don't even get the 1Mbit i should!! At least the upload is still high. What is going on? 

1.35GB was download in 1 hour 

Hi,

I don't know what happened tonight but suddenly I started to download with speeds between 300 and 400KB/s and sometimes it reaches 500KB/s!! I have 1Mbit i-choice + Otenet for ISP. Until now I used to download at around 100KB/s.

This afternoon my connection sucked. I was trying to watch some Youtube video and it was buffering every 3 minutes! And now this!

Such speeds are even more than the 2Mbit upgrade they are promising. So what happened?? If it is some mistake then I hope they will not fix it!
