Cox slowing torrents?

[Joe]

I realize they have both been reportedly filtering and slowing torrents 
for some time (in fact I think all ISPs reportedly do), but I've only 
really noticed it since last night. I was chugging along maintaining 
about 120-140kBps up as usual and all of a sudden everything dropped off 
and I couldn't get anything up over 10kBps. I've had Cox for over a year 
now and it's the first time I've have any issue like that.

I changed my ports around and checked some sites and none of the tests 
came back positive for filtering. Now, all of a sudden, I'm back up to 
120kBps again. I still have no idea if it was me or them...

Thanks for the feedback though.
