Product O2 Access Broadband - Traffic Shaping

"Access" is thier unbundeled product

"Access" is not their unbundled product it is their product from BT Wholesale (i.e. non-LLU).

O2 Access now a complete mare. Over the past week any p2p or newsgroup downloads are sitting at below dialup and its consistent. So glad I'm over the 12 month contract. Avoid unless you can get LLU

It's more accurate to say avoid if you want to use P2P or newsgroups for downloading.

For users not wanting to use those protocols (which chew up loads of bandwidth unless hobbled as O2 seem to be doing now from what you've said) then the shaping is good news because it may well make surfing, emailing, gaming, voip, etc. all viable again which they certainly weren't on Access before.
