Does Your ISP Mess With BitTorrent Traffic?

According to this article, the U.S. is far from the worst country when it comes to throttling BitTorrent traffic, but it isn't the best. And, when it comes to ISPs, Verizon is the best and Cox is the worst. Looking at the list of countries where at least 100 tests were performed, South Korea (74%), Malaysia (61%) and Singapore (53%) come out on top. Poland is the first European country with 35%, quickly followed by the UK with 28%. Greece and Romania stand out in a positive sense, as only 7% and 9% of the tested BitTorrent connections were limited. The United States, Canada and Australia perform relatively well too, with throttling rates of 14%, 17% and 18% respectively.
