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.

    Well, I can't get broadband cable here anyway, so the idea about dsl looks good. All I want broadband for anyway is to download linux distro iso's so I don't have to pay 'em for a cd.

    As well as songs by your favourite artists so you don't have to pay 'em for a cd.
