zeropaid.com — Exetel, the Australian ISP, has decided to "...begin a program of "de-prioritizing" P2P traffic" and restrict the amount of bandwidth allocated to such users by 50%. Taking an aggregate of all the bandwidth users of file-sharing software could theoretically use from noon to midnight each day, Exetel then intends to restrict this amount by half.

ya, what if i was using p2p to share data between offices and needed the data ASAP. I would respond by paying half my bill or just leaving. I guess you could schedule your client to only transfer between the two times. O those Australians!

I am a customer and will be asking for that, since they're cutting costs.Then again, I'm probably unaffected by it, but it really bugs me the way they've gone about it.
