Digicel will never be able to completely block torrents and the more they try to do that the more people will find ways around it. Network/Bandwidth monitoring, 4 sure is high on Digicel's agenda, especially with their new 4G product roll-out and any offending connection (IP/Mac) will be immediately addressed and it will be done transparently.
I am sure Digicel have taken steps to ensure regular internet surfers have enough bandwidth to surf but if it gets excessive from one IP/mac address your QoS level is lowered and it gets issued a bandwidth cap.
Remember bandwidth is not unlimited.........
wah yuh deh seh mek sence but a idiot ting dat cus mi did a expect a constant 100-900kps download and more for both browser and torrents alike, @Gamer3one - i'm getting a mirror of what your getting with the exception of my speeds where a bit faster so this is a TOTAL let down fi mi, one more ting mi afi fi seh bout this if it continue FLOW SOON REACH A MI YARD
