My thoughts on packet shaping by ISP
It is not unknown that there are providers (including mine) that shape the packets, especially the micro packets that are used by p2p networks, such as Skype, Torrent Clients, Usenet, and others. Their excuse of course is that they have a specific amount of bandwidth available, and with everybody using the internet there are peak hours. And to ensure that everybody can use it, they have to do this traffic shaping so more important content gets delivered quicker, as a better experience for everybody. Sure, that does sound reasonable. But it is not.
