The Internet

I'll rant, and I'm starting now! 
ISP providers offering Unlimited? PURE BULLSHIT! It's an advertisement, HELLO?!

You come home from work - to pay up your Internet Broadband Bills and everything else. You soon lie on your couch with your laptop with you, conveniently starting up "Deluge" (Torrent Client), enjoying down speeds up to 145 kbps. Few days later, you realize down speeds drastically reduced to 7 kbps and even a miraculous 0.1 kbps. You search the web for EVERY solution you can find, but only finding out you're paying your ISP Providers a month of satisfying dinners you can't even afford every week:

1) Explanation:
Your ISP Provider throttles your Bandwidth usage allowance down, drastically "chopping" the speed of downs and ups (so much for "unlimited").
Your ISP Provider detects a TCP 68** Port being used (These are ports normally used by Torrent Clients), therefore throttling your bandwidth allowance down yet again.
Your ISP Provider is a dickhead
Your ISP Provider are capping your P2P Traffics from International Sites (Try downloading something with local seeders, you can reach up to speeds of 214 kbps!)

2) Solution:
Get a VPN server, these are capping-free ISPs. Make sure you get it from a reliable source, some just runs away not having the knowledge of handling a server
Use TCP ports 54000 - 60000, these are ports where ISP providers don't expect Torrent Gateways to be formed. (Torrent Clients only use TCP ports)
If your ISP Provider's a dickhead, I can't help you...=D

And if you wanna risk: Use TCP port 80 (World Wide Web HTTP), TCP port 110 (Post Office Protocol) or TCP ports 20 & 21 (FTP Servers) and I will say this again, only try this if you wanna take the risk. (These are ports governed by your ISPs, not expecting Torrent Clients to go through these ports, as these ports are at MAX speed for WWW HTTP reasons)

So enjoy your capped Broadband, cause I really don't think this is what the "Internet" should be. ISPs aren't suppose to cap or throttle our bandwidths (our money man!).
