Ditto here.
Flets has never limited my connection that is well over 30GB a week bescaue I'm streaming Netflix/YouTube/AmazonPrime through my TV 18 hours a day.
What's more far important than the particular ISP you use, is the throughput of your VPN because insane location restrictions for streaming (and Japan's jailtime for t0rrentlng).

(2) And about speed (There is two differents flets actually).
(3) Did you ever had a website blocked even with a vpn ?

FG Lurker wrote:Anyone having any throttling issues these days? Asahi Net seems to be throttling me if I transfer more than a few gigabytes of data in a short period of time, regardless of the protocol used for the transfer. Speeds start out around 40MB/sec but after ~30 minutes they drop to ~900KB/sec and seem to remain there. If I stop and restart it will still be at ~900KB/sec but if I wait a few hours it jumps back to 40MB/sec for another 30 minutes or so.
I don't think it's an issue with my local hardware but I suppose anything is possible.
Thoughts?

Taro Toporific wrote:"Throttling" at my home:
Every single time I think I'm having throttling issues, it turns out to be my router or my firewall firmware. Whether it's the router provided by Tokyu Cable or by NTT, the damn routers (or most likely their firmware) crap out every year or two.![]()
wuchan wrote:The story I got was many years ago NTT was having trouble giving large companies the bandwidth they needed to run cloud based solutions. They teamed up with Japan Inc. and started the IIJ. Today NTT is still a major share holder along with the usual suspect banks. Its a way for NTT to be able to pay for super expensive projects without risking their own capital.
wuchan wrote:As a regular consumer you can't buy internet access directly from NTT. You can get it from fleets but that's a smaller company that NTT just happens to own. This is a way for them to legally give priority to large companies since they only sell very expensive service that would be just silly for a home consumer who checks email and watches porn.
wuchan wrote:There is no law that directly says throttling or slowing down your internet is illegal BUT if they throttled a company they would be breaking the disrupting business law. By throttling homes they would be violating fairness and equality laws.
wuchan wrote:I know my contract does not say anything about limits and when I call to complain they swear they aren't slowing me down but magically everything instantly goes back to normal. I suspect that the ISPs have a deal with NTT to stay below a certain level and have oversold their services.
