IT was for me
but then again my connection's been really crappy in the evenings lately. And I've just heard that my ISP is choking bittorrent downloads.

Stool or stools?
Surely not just one!

What's the justification?
I was under the impression that I was paying for bandwidth, not the right to download certain formats at the discretion of the ISP.

hmm
it's one of those uncomfortable situations where I've come up against the ultimate powerlessness of the consumer. I can call their customer service department and moan and reason and scream as much as I like, I know it's not going to change anything. And they're the only cable company that supply our area.

keep checking, and ask in a local tech forum.
here we have the big two, but there are a few enterprising startups. i got turned on to one of them at a dorkbot meeting.

You can buy as much bandwidth as you want
provided you don't actually want it most of the time.
