I've been using TWC for well over a year now and it's been working perfectly fine, getting my advertised speeds of 10/1 mbps fairly consistently.
These past few months though, my ISP seems to have gone down the toilet. I know that it's not specifically capping bittorrent as my speeds are slowed across the board. During the morning, I can occasionally reach my full DL speed, but it's rather pointless as I'm rarely home in the morning and don't really download then. But at nights, when I mostly download new tv shows, my DL is capped so badly that it ends up being slower than my upload. I'm lucky to get 50-100 KB/s on most of my downloads. Normal standard quality episodes take quite a few hours to download and by then I'm already sleep. It's a giant fucking pain in the ass and extremely aggravating.
I was thinking of FiOS as I've heard many good things about it but unfortunately it seems to have limited availability and isn't in my area yet. Are there any ISPs with comparable speeds in the US that don't impose any limits or throttle?
