PA ISP to Restrict P2P Uploads

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the non-sharing-file-sharing-users dept.

Maleko writes "PenTeleData, once an innovator in broadband internet service, (was one of, if not the first cable internet providers in the USA) has decided that their customers need to disable P2P uploads or face possible filtering to stop uploads. DSLReports has the story." While an interesting solution on the part of the ISP, it will definitely increase the number of "leechers" on file-sharing systems.

    I tried WinMX once. It was so impossibly difficult and convoluted, I just nuked it. If companies like Kazza can make their programs very, very simple, why can't WinMX? There's really no excuse for such poor design. Kazaalite does everything I need it to do, and it does it pretty damn well. It's even better now that they have the participation levels in place.

    You would think that a letter from someone in management would at least be written properly. Why would you compose a letter representing the company without doing some checks/proofing on it... ?
