F2S down the pan

I know they are doing this traffic shaping experiment thing and my 1 or 2
torrents are running very slowly (looks like they sped up last night between
1am and 6am which is fair enough) but my web browsing is also crawling at
the moment and has been for the last 3 nights - last night so bad I had to
switch off as it was useless.

Is everyone experiencing this? Getting my MAC anyway incase it doesn't
improve (8Mb UKOnline any better?)

Really dissapointed with F2S after 5 months of excellent service.

Downstream 396 Kbps (49.5 KB/sec) 427 Kbps (inc. overheads)

So poor.

You're not alone. Read the broadband forums here

BTW, if you are on the 8meg LLU you'll be very lucky to get a MAC
number from Freedom2Surf. You may have to cease and reprovide.

They've admitted on the forum to shaping P2P traffic. Nothing on
their official website tho.
