There is no uplink, i am not uploading, downloading or doing anything else.
There is no network traffic,i'm booting in a clean environment with nothing but a single BT client.

To test my BT speed i connect to torrents with seeders that are able to provide ample bandwidth (openoffice, linux distributions)
In the past (month ago) i could get the maximum link speed of 50KB, with CYTA i could get 100KB (on 1Mbit ichoice) and so forth.

Try it for yourselves, try downloading openoffice BT and see what speed you get.

I'm using plain OTENET, no ichoice.

I don't think its a case of NAT because there is only one BT connection from a big seeder (try OpenOffice for example) and the max download speed is 30KB/s

I found a way of testing if OTENET is capping BT traffic and i plan to conduct some tests over the next days and see. I will do the same with Cytanet to see the differences.

As for my Otenet WAN IP, OTENET gives me 3 IP's 2 of which are on their internal Class A network (10.*.*.*) and one which is on a public network and changes dynamically (PPPoE) however i don't recall when the last time was that it changed.

All traffic comes to my OTENET provided linksys router/ADSL modem which in turn is NATted to my LAN (just like any router). However i can bridge the connection directly to one PC and become NATless which yields the same results.

I will perform point to point testing and see from there.

Anyone with technical knowledge about the OTENET network and their linksys routers?
I have tried contacting them to get the VOIP account settings so that i can use my VOIP subscription using softphones but havent had any luck.
I have the default Linksys router they offer.

Hi guys,

Has anyone noticed traffic shaping from OTENET for bittorrent traffic? In the past few days i am noticing that BT traffic is capped at 30kb/s.

To verify that its not a seeding problem i tried downloading popular seeds such as linux distros and the speed stays capped at 30kb/s well below the maximum bandwidth i am paying for.
