I set this up 3 weeks ago and it worked great. I was consistently getting speeds between 250 and 300 Kb/s, which is normal. Late last week I noticed my speeds have dropped down to 24 to 28 Kb/s. What gives? Is Bell’s deep packet inspection able to get through the encryption? If so then surely that is a wilful breach of privacy!!

I just received a the 2Wire modem & am trying to figure this out. I’m using Utorrent 1.8.3 & have tried the above steps with no change..am I missing steps here? Do I need to set the ports on the Application Support page as well?

Wondering how to defeat the sympatico throttle on Utorrent 1.8.3
1723
All is unchecked on CONNECTION tab
All is unchecked in BITORRENT tab
port forwarded

Any help would be appreciated. i tried the several pdfs and checked out dslreports forums and a few others.

Did you open a port on your router also?

Hello,

Tried configuring my uTorrent, restarted the modem and router, and I’m still stuck at 30KB/s.

Did anything change since may 31st?

Thanks

Just wanted to say, both “wow” and “thanks”… Even still in June 2009, this really works and I can’t thank you enough

Just want to confirm this positively works. I am on a Primus DSL connection. Instead of 24kb/s i now have 100 kb/s woho! Thanks!
I am connected through a linksys router wireless as well. Of course I had to change my port forwarding appropriately.

Oh and an addendum to your ports listed above to use, If you plan on actually getting good speeds then you must have a port file larger than 32000.

@DA: You are an idiot. Is that flaming if it is true?
@ Reader’s Write: Amen =]

Honestly it’s just the “smart” thing to do by encrypting your web traffic, no matter what it may be, you never know who or what (program specific) is watching your every move on the interwebz. As for the ISPs, what they do isn’t illegal, it’s simply a measure to endure so that they can legally stay in business in the trying times that exist where free information cannot be shared because of thick pieces of paper that say we can’t.

ESP/AH TCP port 50/51, UDP port 50/51… sheesh, what morons!!!

Try IP protocol 50/51.

Of course, now that this information is being widely circulated, don’t be surprised if Bell soon closes off this solution.

Instead of looking for workarounds to the throttling, it’s too bad we can’t just “workaround” the ISPs themselves! Hey! If they keep arbitrarily and illegally changing the playfield, why shouldn’t we just find a way to gain internet access without them? (Yeah, I know…)
