Doesnt PS3 count as P2P?

My contract has run out, so does this effect me? If so I think I will jump ship and see how the other half live on BE.

No it doesn't, simply sign in an look at your plan online. It'll have the old name.

Yeah I had a look. I wonder how long it is until I have to change tho. Really happy with the service at the moment. Can't get higher than 8mb in my area so on the lowest package. £7.50 is very good for unlimited.

Are Be going down the same path?

I'm on O2 Home Premium (middle package) and my contract is up in January.
If anyone else' contract is up for renewal sooner, it would be nice to find out whether existing customers can stay on their current tarriffs.

On Premium, expires in october. It was fun while it lasted... I usually do 300gb a month :s I'm moving out too to uni... to a place with o2 pro.

This hasn't been answered yet on the O2 forum but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Same question about Skype? Wouldn't affect VoIP but a bummer if video calls get throttled by this policy.

As long as my current terms carry over it is fine. At least o2 are being up front and clear about their policy, beats UNLIMITED...with fup

Don't you start to think there just jumping on the whole hate the file shares bandwagon, yes on one side they could be seen to be dealing with the problem, on the other side this could potentially save them a load of money in network upgrades they should be doing anyway.

Either way makes me regret moving out of my flat in Sheffield even more, I was getting unlimited 20mbit for £7.50 on that O2 staff package thing.

My o2 contract ended a year ago, plus my account is in credit for £60

It was in credit for £120, o2 sent me as a goodwill gift as they really messed up some time ago, so basicly I have free BB for 12 months

Also my credit runs out when FTTC is ready here

Just got this of the O2 forum

Quick update on the traffic management situation and XBOX Live.

This kind of internet traffic is not managed at all. It's classed as standard browsing.

Argh, they changed their minds again, it is kilobits rather than kilobytes

LOL, sucks for P2P users on O2 And online video streamers for that matter.

rapidshare ***?

 

[hyper_piper45]

This is pretty lame. Glad i'm on an old package. I don't mind the usage limits, its the bandwidth throttling which is the worst.

Anyone using VPN or Open VPN on the new packages?

 

[JonJ678]

Well **** o2 then.

There are some reports that VPN isn't working for some even on the old package. This has been ongoing for a month or two so may not just be a new package issue.

 

[JC]

I think the VPN issue is due to a bug in the latest version of the Thompson router firmware

 

[marmalade]

vpn/openvpn works fine on old contract with my Thomson 780WL voip router

 

[Clairvoyant]

vpn/openvpn

Silly question, but what is this and why would you use it.
