Good comparison of traffic shaping?

I have been looking for a good source of information about the different ISPs' traffic shaping (without having to go to each deal of each provider, I'm so lazy;)). I've only managed to find these:

Vuze Wiki on bad ISPs

An ISP Review article from 2010.


Does anyone know of a better source of info?

I'm currently on a legacy O2 deal with no traffic shaping but I think I will have to accept that my next deal has some shaping if I am to get the cost down. I would just like to make an informed decision.

P.S. MSE claims that Primus does not traffic shape at all -- is that true?

    No....Primus have a fair usage policy. They reserve the right to restrict certain users. They will warn you in advance.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
