i looked into a little more and it looks like sky broadband/anytime etc is
basically a backdoor p2p network
eating into peoples without them actually knowing
if your in the uk and thinking of signing up think again
"kontiki based p2p sharing eating your cap. just like bbc iplayer, similer drm,
similar tech, similar rip off of your bandwidth if you only watch the odd show."
if you see this post again could you give us a bit more on the sky/broadband
p2p backdoor (kontiki).
we where thinking of changing form aol to sky.
i would like to find out as much as i can before changing over.
the internet is a good place to find out things but i find i don't get very
far before i get side tracked from the thing i was looking for so any info you
drop in here for us would be grate and may be just what i need to ether change
or stay with aol.
stick with your current provider or find a better one not sky
sky bb will eat into your bandwidth from day one and even when you are
connected to internet it will be using your bandwidth with your permission it
will slow your sytem down big time
as who reads the small print?
you know how p2p works you dl and you reseed and when you give back as much as
you take or a bit more you disconnect, well this(kontiki) embeds itself into
your system and keeps on going you think you have disconnected but you havent
and to make sure of this with sky anytime(i.e not sky broadband) you cant view
any downloads until 100% is downloaded and of course the whole time your
downloading you are also sharing your connection
even when you uninstall sky anytime you dont remove kontiki this requires a
seperate removal tool and some registery tweaking/repairs
i see ip's for peer guardian from several corperations
chances are its more likely some guy with a torrent program running for "uber"
speeds but you never know
