just found this connolly, dunno what it means could anyone on here clear it up. I personally think think talktalk is saying £27 per month and download waht you want just as long as its not to much.
7. What are P2P ports?
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) ports are used by file sharing system such as KaZaA, Morpheus, Grokster, Gnutella, LimeWire, WinMX, or eDonkey2000 to download large amounts of data.
A small number of heavy P2P users can utilise a significant proportion of available bandwidth. This can result in a significantly degraded quality of service for other users.
9.1 Does TalkTalk allow P2P downloading?
TalkTalk allows the use of P2P software, however, it does not condone its use where subsequent file sharing breaches applicable local laws and regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, those principles of law which protect against compromise of copyrights, trade secrets, proprietary information and other intellectual property rights, libel or defamation of character, invasion of privacy, tortuous interference.
9.2 Does TalkTalk block P2P ports?
No, TalkTalk broadband does not block ports used by P2P file sharing systems.
9.3 Does TalkTalk broadband prioritise traffic generated by P2P software?
TalkTalk broadband may use network controls to prioritise traffic generated by web browsing, email and music downloads over that generated by with P2P file sharing systems where it is found that it affects the bandwidth of other broadband users.
9.4 Why does TalkTalk put network controls in place with P2P networks?
TalkTalk owes a duty to all our Broadband users to both preserve network integrity and avoid network degradation. If, in our reasonable opinion, we believe P2P usage has, or may adversely affect, such network integrity or may cause network degradation for the majority of users we may control the transmission speed of selected ports.
9.5 Does TalkTalk use network controls to affect gaming or other legitimate download services?
The techniques used to control the network should not affect legitimate download, chat, instant messaging or gaming services.
so if they control certain ports is there a way around it?????
please before i get drunk and hurl a load of abuse at the lovely talktalk telephone girl who couldent tell her hard drive from her elbow
If at first you don't succeed give up and move on
