The problem i see with this is that alot of letgitimate traffic in the linux community is over bit torrent, a lot of applications are distributed over torrents.
Yet again another 02 business dicates its ruling, stuff their customers. – HERE’S NEW IDEA, UPGRADE YOUR NETWORK.
02 Currently have only 400, 000 customers, so how come other ISP’s manage just fine? Yet another reason why 02 will not see any of my business, im just fed up with their dicatatorship!
