Is shaped still classed as uncapped?

ARGH! Do you know what shaping actually is?

Thats quite funny when you categorically state that "shaping" is only done by customers on egress. Many ISPs use traffic shaping (using Cisco terminology) on their GW/PE router to tier down traffic to a lower bandwith that suits the customers budget and allows flexibility in terms of easy up/downgrades.

does anyone know of an ISP which doesn't use shaping and maybe even says they're never planning to? If I was a broadband company now and provided an unshaped service that would be my first advertising line "we don't limit p2p" or something.

I think some business ISP's dont do traffic shapping but you will pay more for being with a business customer based ISP
