The odds on me being here are rather slim evolutionary speaking, yet in the infinite bounds of probability my being here is a certainty. |

Tiscali are throttling people at the peak hours because 'they use too much bandwidth'. By the very definition of a peak hour, that's what happens there
yes but..... the only thing i have trouble with is EvE. I can connect to a bunch of other mmo's, not that i play any other mind lol. The problems with tiscali are to do with eve and tbh eve dont use that much bandwith so why should we be throttled?

That's even funnier, because eve uses less bandwidth than most other MMOs
shocking eh?

..and that's saying something. MMOs are generally easy to cater for. They are mostly low bandwidth and fairly consistent. I'd find it really hard to believe that any ISP could throttle game traffic of any kind based on bandwidth requirements so I think there must be some other factor at work here. Whatever it is..I think that switching to another ISP would be sensible.
maybe its something that eve does that tiscali is just overlooking? I used to be enraged at tiscali but maybe if we explore the matter on their forums there could be a simple solution, I keep racking my brains as to why tiscali would let me log into say second life and not EvE. Something is being overlooked imo.

You can log in to 2nd life but not eve?
There is a good reason for this: 2nd life is very widely known, and it would be quite bad for a "with it" ISP to block it.
On the other hand, eve is much less well known, so tiscali's broad customer base wouldn't care less if it was blocked.
The irony of course is that the data received from 2nd life is very significantly higher than eve.
One 2nd life, very high quantities of code are sent - which tell the client how to build the world, and a lot of graphics are also sent.
On eve, no graphics are sent, and the only data sent is position and actions, since the world and models are already on the client.
exactley my point. Tiscali actually achieve little to nothing by picking on us eve players for only marginal bandwith gains. There must be a simple answer for why tiscali are doing it. It's seems silly to throttle eve bandwith, when i can download a movie and not have connection slow down
which i wouldnt be downloading if i had eve to play
