Another needle in the haystack has been found with xpy 0.9.2. I've been using a lot of separate system modifiers recently and I've finally gotten my hands on xpy, a program that's still in active development.
xpy is not your typical tweaking program, it chooses to focus on your system's natural deficiencies and works to correct the gaping security problems you might face. Let's see what all the hype's about.

08.06.2007Qwest isn't sure if its throttling bandwidth
It seems that Qwest can't decide if it's throttling bandwidth or not. A user on Consumerist.com states that Qwest tech support told him that
they do throttle their bandwidth for excessive users, and then sometime later, the tech support agent called him back and reported that they do not
throttle bandwidth. According to the user who is based in Washington, Qwest puts rate limits on streaming intensive sites like Youtube. The user
confirmed this by running several speed tests and then viewing Youtube again and was receiving the slower data rate. Then by using an external proxy
he was able to achieve much faster speeds than if he directly connected to the site.

06.05.2009Comcast bandwidth throttling effective in all markets
Comcast is fighting back against what it calls excessive bandwidth users. The company confirmed that it has successfully deployed throttling
technology to all its markets. Comcast claims that the technology is to help make everyone get the same experience and have equal opportunity to the
bandwidth. The throttling works in a manner that your data can be put in two classes; PBE (Priority Best-Effort) or BE (Best-Effort) with
preference being PBE. This is determined by "sustained use of 70% of your up or downstream throughput triggers the BE state, at which point
you'll find your traffic priority lowered until your usage drops to 50% of your provisioned upstream or downstream bandwidth for up to 15 minutes.

08.09.2006Cable Companies Facing Big Bandwidth Crunch
With internet usage expanding
exponentially and demand for
high-speed connections ever
growing, cable internet
companies may soon be facing
serious bandwidth issues,
according to a report by ABI
Research. The problem comes
from more demanding
applications, including
high-definition video, video
on demand, online gaming, and
higher-bandwidth Internet
applications, which could lead
to fewer high-definition
television channels and
sputtering internet speeds.
" The increasing bandwidth
demands on cable operators
will soon reach crisis stage,
yet this is a 'dirty little
industry secret' that no one
talks about, " said Stan
Schatt, VP and research
director for ABI Research.
Currently, cable
providers utilize roughly
750MHz worth of bandwidth:
676MHz for downstream
applications like analog
cable, digital cable, HD
programming, video on demand,
Internet data, and VoIP
service and 54MHz for upstream
transmissions; according to
ABI, however, 750MHz just
isn't enough to deal with
future growth. " Uploading
bandwidth is going to have to
increase, " Schatt stated.
" And the cable providers
are going to get killed on
bandwidth as HD programming
becomes more
commonplace. "

15.08.2007ISP panicked by MS Patch Tuesday
ISP group 186K has blamed
potential congestion on its
network this week on bandwidth
being swallowed by
Microsoft's monthly security
patch update.
Redmond unleashed six
critical fixes on Tuesday.
186K's
engineers first suspected a
new virus, according to the
firm's
status
page, but later on
Wednesday morning said it was
because its network had
struggled with the larger than
normal update. The firm sent
an email to customers that
read:
There is a
possibility you could be
experiencing some congestion
issues this morning on our
network. This appears to be
affecting systems other than
just our own, and it is
believed to be related to a
large Microsoft Windows Update
which has become available for
automatic download
today.
Leeds-based 186K is
behind ISP brands Elite,
EzeeDSL and EFH Broadband.
It's the
third time this week that ISPs
have griped about having to
carry data. First up, Tiscali
and Carphone Warehouse hit the
bandwidth panic button over
the BBC iPlayer. Research
revealed that internet video
is causing similar
collywobbles Stateside too.

16.08.2007IIS7 - Configure Throttling for your documents (any MIME type) and save Bandwidth costs
Do you have a high traffic site where you have a lot of WMV/AVI/FLV/PDF documents (or any other MIME type) where your maximum bandwidth of the site is
utilized? Do you ever think where majority of the bandwidth would go? Most of the users do not completely watch the video or listen to audio, or do
not read the complete PDF file (or any progressive download document). Assume that they just watch for 5 minutes of your 1 hour long Flash Video
(.flv). How much of your bandwidth (for download) would be used for this? You should try answering this question yourself.

after listening to customers they decided to delay the testing. What really probably happened was that angry customers were calling up and giving the
TWC representatives a piece of their mind. TWC states that they will push the rollout back to October as if that makes it any easier to swallow.
