Internet providers throttling.

[Col7777]

I remember a few years ago my internet dropped to snail's pace, I phoned them up and got a woman on who said she was the supervisor.
She had an attitude and said, "Yes we limited you speed and are restricting you from your activity, we know what you are doing."
I asked what she meant, she replied, "You are using torrent sites to download films and music."
I said, "Well you are wrong, I am downloading and what I'm downloading is legal, I do flight simulator and those files are free, some of them are large I know but again they are free and legal. Go and check because you will find I am correct and you are restricting me from my hobby."
She didn't reply for a few seconds then said, "Oh well those downloads are too large, you need to get smaller ones."
I replied, "I have paid for some of those downloads that legal websites put up for sale, they are flight simulator add on programs, I'm going to report this."

In a matter of a few minutes I was back up to full speed again.
