ISPs to clamp down on torrenting

Telkom encourage its Home Uncapped users to schedule their large downloads between 00:00 and 07:00. Their SoftCap counterparts get free night surfer during the same time frame.

SoftCap is not shaped during the day whereas Home Uncapped is.

It doesn’t take a genius to see that Telkom want to discourage the use of their uncapped packages.
I can live with a speed reduction from TI Uncapped during the day, but 5kb/s is silly. I can also live with downloading overnight, but turning online gaming off untill 11:40PM is also anal.
