List of Internet Service Providers That Throttle P2P Traffic

The topic we base what you can call a “bad top” upon has swallowed lots of “ink” lately. That’s right, here’s p2p traffic throttling back to your attention. And how can you talk about p2p traffic control without bringing ISPs to the table. Owing to some scandals (see Comcast and AT&T) that made the headlines a while ago ISPs have been given a bad name and people have started to see them sometimes as the hardly fair tool of the government. We don’t want to generalize now and say that all ISPs are bad, but this “sort” is rather hard to miss as P2P throttling tends to be something most internet service providers all around the world would do. Here is a list with of bad internet service providers ISP by country. If you see your ISP listed here you may want to consider choosing another one (that, of course if you have a choice) that is fair in its treatment of customers .
