Traffic Management Speeds

Hi folks,
I am currently with Sky who do not do traffic management but thinking of moving to EE who do traffic manage.
My understanding is that EE limit P2P to 1 megabyte per second at peak times.
So if my broadband speed is 4 meg then does that mean that P2P would be limited to 1/4 of that speed?
I'm confusing my megabytes, megabits kilobits and all that jazz.
Cheers

"4 meg" broadband is 4Mb/s - 4 megaBITS per second. 8 bits in a byte, so 4 megabits per second = 0.5 megabytes per second. So, you won't be hitting the EE limit.1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?

Thanks very much WTFH, so in that case even if I had an "8meg" connection.... 8 divided by 8 = 1 megabyte per second...
The 1 megabyte per second traffic management wouldn't affect any P2P I happened to do?
To be honest I don't even do much P2P but I just wanted to know that when I do, its not going to take me a week to download a 1 hour tv show.A big believer in karma, you get what you give :A

If you want to download the show quickly, then switch off whatever P2P programs you are running.
It shouldn't slow the download down too much, but running P2P will always have a bit of a hit on performance.1. Have you tried to Google the answer?

I think the OP means the TV show is downloaded USING P2P.

I considered that, but since it's illegal, I'd prefer not to give advice on it.;)1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
