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.

    Please let me suggest my app, Andromeda, which uses the web. I do ask that people pay for the software, but I've put years of work into it, and I think you'll find it to be a good thing.

    I have work computers I could access with DSL from home. Now with roadrunner I cant. I don't want them open on my home computer but I do want to be able to access these on the outside. I dont want a filtered internet, I want to be able to use it to its full functionality.
