is there a diff between forced encryption and enable encryption?

Since broadband came out with them in 1998. Oh nice I only need like 1000 more for my 5 stars. Yeah I heard Rogers does the same with bittorrent.

anyone here uses Rogers Hi Speed Extreme? Any recommendations for ports to use? I live in Ontario area so help me? Um, perhaps u could have some recommendations for new ISPs? I have heard of Tekksavy and 3web. Anymore?

where is the speed guide?

Does anyone know if this version of uTorrent is known to help against Sandvine (traffic-shaping program used by Comcast)? Forced encryption and other suggested methods haven't helped, and my ratios are really suffering. :cry:

anymore suggestions FST? any suggestions for ISPs?
